Case report: the danger of postchemotherapy laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma.
Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a feasible, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of testicular cancer patients who require surgery to address the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. We report a case of retroperitoneal recurrent disease including a port-site metastasis secondary to laparoscopic RPLND.
