Abstract
Pelvic lymphadenectomy is a well established method for staging carcinoma of the bladder and prostate. Usually it is done by open surgery, but we now report preliminary experience with the laparoscopic approach. The technique is described in detail, and the results seem to indicate that the procedure is safe, has few complications and gives less pain than open surgery, with rapid recovery and early postoperative discharge from hospital.
