Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies showed suboptimal adherence to clinical practice guidelines for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP). Robot-assisted RP (RARP) has become the predominant surgical management for localized prostate cancer in the United States but contemporary national data on PLND adherence during RARP are still lacking.
