title: Extraperitoneal endoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (EEPLND).
abstract: Extraperitoneal endoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection was performed in 60 patients for staging of organ-confined prostatic carcinoma. This procedure has significant advantages over the node dissection performed laparoscopically and should be adopted as the operative approach for staging of prostatic carcinoma.
