Linfadenectomía laparoscópica en el tratamiento de los tumores germinales no seminomatosos estadio I
OBJECTIVE: To review the role oflaparoscopic lymphadenectomy for stage Inonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the testis.METHODS: The current literature on this subject isreviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of thistechnique are discussed.RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Although there is noagreement on the management of nonseminomatous germcell tumors of the testis, some groups advocate performingretroperitoneal lymphadenectomy after orchidectomy,particularly for tumors with a high risk of dissemination.The laparoscopic approaches that were introducedbasically in the 90’s, have permitted performing surgicaltechniques with a low morbidity and a shorter recoverytime. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy isone such technique. According to the experience of severalgroups, this technique has an acceptable operating time(approximately 5 hours), low complication rate and shorthospital stay (2-5 days according to the different series).For those with experience in performing the laparoscopicapproach, it is a therapeutic alternative that should beconsidered for this type of testicular tumor.
