Abstract
Previous trials have shown that the number of procedures done by a single surgeon, that is, surgical volume (SV), is associated with several outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP). To test the association between SV and the detection of lymph node metastases during extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). The study cohort consisted of 1020 men surgically treated for clinically localized prostate cancer. All patients underwent RP and...
