Performing Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection Before Prostatectomy was Associated with Lower Apical Positive Surgical Margin Rates During Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Single-Centre Retrospective Cohort Study
Objective: Positive surgical margins remain clinically relevant after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Whether performing extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) before, rather than after, prostatectomy is associated with lower apical positive surgical margin (PSM) rates has not been evaluated with ad...
