Robotic Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (RLPLND) in Rectal Cancer – New Feasibility Study from a European Centre

The role of robotic lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) for lateral pelvic nodal disease (LPND) in rectal cancer has yet to be investigated in the Western hemisphere. A recent study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of robotic LPLND by utilising a well-established totally robotic TME protocol. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on…
