Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a critical component in the management of testicular cancer.
  • Robotic RPLND (RRPLND) offers potential advantages in precision and recovery.
  • Standardized selection criteria are essential for optimizing RRPLND outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define selection parameters for RRPLND using the 'B-SAFE' system.
  • To evaluate the oncological and peri-operative outcomes of RRPLND based on these criteria.
  • To compare RRPLND outcomes with traditional open RPLND.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 57 patients undergoing RRPLND (2017-2023).
  • Application of the 'B-SAFE' criteria for robotic case selection.
  • Comparison with a cohort of 57 patients undergoing open RPLND.

Main Results:

  • No open conversions were required in the RRPLND group.
  • RRPLND demonstrated a shorter length of stay (2 vs 6 days) and reduced blood loss (130 vs 865 mL) compared to open RPLND.
  • Similar oncological outcomes (positive margin rates) and complication rates were observed between RRPLND and open RPLND, with higher nodal yield in RRPLND.

Conclusions:

  • The 'B-SAFE' system provides effective parameters for selecting appropriate cases for RRPLND.
  • RRPLND achieves excellent short-term oncological outcomes with minimal peri-operative morbidity and a short length of stay.
  • Increasing experience allows for the expansion of selection criteria to include more complex cases.
