Robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for left clinical stage I non-seminomatous germ cell testicular cancer: Focus on port placement and surgical technique - Abstract

The aim of our report was to describe the feasibility of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in the contemporary era.

We suggest the linear port location and 90° robotic docking as the main key to minimizing instrument clashing and improving the range of surgical accessibility.
