Background: The objective was to carry out a prospective study to compare the current extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) to the sentinel node (SN) technique with Tcnanocolloid.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study between January 2013 and May 2020. In the first 74 patients, Tc-nanocolloid was used.
Objective: To validate the sentinel lymph node selective biopsy (SLNSB) in the staging of Prostate Cancer with Briganti Index > 5 by comparison with extended lymphadenectomy (ePLND) in a prospective longitudinal study.
Methods: SLNSB has been performed in 84 patients, the first 70 by injection of nanocoloids marked with Tc99m and preoperative SPECT-CT, and in the last 14 with mixed radiotracer (99mTc + ICG). After laparoscop ic removal of sentinel nodes all patients underwent an ePLND.
Purpose Of Review: An endophytic renal tumor represents a special surgical challenge in terms of location and safe removal. For this reason we wanted to review the existing literature on this subject.
Recent Findings: In high-activity robotic centers, robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a safe and efficacious surgical approach for completely endophytic renal tumors.
