title: Complications of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
abstract: Complications found in 47 individuals who underwent radical retroperitoneal node dissection were retrospectively analyzed. Our results indicate no mortality and an over-all complication rate of 29.7 per cent. An increased number of complications was noted in those patients who underwent elective appendectomy and in those node dissection above the renal vessels.
