Abstract

Robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RARPLND) is an evolving minimally invasive treatment option in testicular cancer. This procedure adheres to the oncological principles of open RPLND and should be performed by surgeons experienced with open RPLND whom routinely treat germ cell tumors and testicular cancer. This chapter will detail the steps required to conduct a successful and safe dissection and will highlight the necessary precautions that need to be undertaken to avoid certain complications.
