Lymphadenectomy in Urology.
Surgical radicality in tumours of the urinary tract with lymphonodular deposits requires extirpation of the adjacent and regional lymphadenoid tissues, in particular of the lymph nodes. The theoretical and practical aspects of lymphadenectomy in testicular and renal tumours are discussed, and the technical problems are outlined. The importance of early diagnosis and the benefits of surgery of adequate radicality involving lymphadenectomy are emphasized.
