Pelvic Lymph Node dissection
For men with moderate and high risk characteristics, Dr. Hu performs a lymph node dissection that is identical to his technique for open surgery. First, he identifies the external iliac vein and dissects underneath it to the pelvic side wall, teasing off the lymph node packet. Next, he identifies and preserves the obturator nerve and vessels before dissecting out the lymph node completely, which is removed through a 12 mm laparoscopic port.
