Salvage prostatectomy is technically more difficult than primary prostatectomy, and the complication rate is higher. The videos demonstrate that it can be performed by either open surgery or robot-assisted laparoscopy. The advantages and disadvantages of either technique will be discussed.
EPLND -the gold standard- has a false negative rate of at least 10%. This rate can by decreased by super extended PLND, but the price is decreased specificity, longer operative time, and possibly a higher complication rate. The solution may be targeted PLND such as sentinel PLND which allows to increase specificity, sensitivity and accuracy. Two different concepts of sentinel PLND will be presented.
