title: [Technic and results of lymph node excision using pelvic lymphadenoscopy].
abstract: The authors report their experience of a surgical approach to pelvic lymph nodes based on a series of 24 patients with prostatic cancer (20 patients) or bladder cancer (4 patients). After making a short iliac incision, this technique consists of detaching the peritoneum with a finger and introducing a retractor (modified Cusko speculum) allowing removal of the lymph nodes. The authors discuss the indications for this technique in comparison with other methods of investigation of lymph nodes and present their results.
