Ejaculation in testicular cancer patients after post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate fertility after different types of post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND). During 1980-1994, 192 patients with metastatic testicular cancer underwent post-chemotherapy RPLND with a gradual shift from modified bilateral template RPLND to nerve-sparing RPLND. Modified bilateral template RPLND was done in 92% of the patients operated during 1980-1984 as compared to 16% during 1989-1994.
