Purpose: We have evaluated lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) in combination with rectal resection in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer in a specialized colorectal surgical department with a focus on safety and feasibility.

Methods: The study analyzed surgical-pathologic outcomes in 17 consecutive patients who underwent robotic LPLND and rectal resection between May 2018 and June 2024 at a high-volume colorectal cancer center in Denmark. Patients were selected for the procedure based on lateral lymph node (LLN) diameter ≥ 8 mm before and ≥ 5 mm after neoadjuvant treatment.
