Abstract
Pelvic lymphadenectomy is the cause of a relevant number of perioperative complications in patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy. Lymphocele formation, and the associated re-interventions and thromboembolic sequelae account for by far the highest percent of these complications. In the current study lymphocele formation depended on the extent of pelvic lymphadenectomy, the number of lymph nodes removed and the operating surgeon.
