Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND)

Excision of retroperitoneal lymph nodes for metastatic testicular cancer.

CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Transperitoneal access and mobilization of the colon.
Dissection of nodes within boundaries (aorta, vena cava, ureters).
Nerve-sparing technique to preserve postganglionic sympathetic fibers.
Meticulous ligation of lymphatic channels to prevent chylous ascites.
