摘要：

Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a technically advanced procedure that has been undertaken for the management of low-stage nonseminomatous germ cell testis tumor. Although it has been shown to be an effective staging technique, its role as a therapeutic operation is currently unknown. Laparoscopic RPLND requires longer operative times but offers the patient all the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, such as less postoperative pain and shorter hospitalization and convalescence. The role of laparoscopic RPLND for the evaluation of residual abdominal masses following chemotherapy is currently being examined.
