Objective To compare the efficacy of extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND)and oncological outcome by fluorescence laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (FLRP) versus high-definition laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (HD-LRP) for men with locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPCa).Methods In a prospective trial,we recruited 51 patients with T3a-bNxM0 prostate cancer from July 2015 to April 2018.Patients were assigned to study group or control group according to random number method,and were underwent either FLRP + ePLND or HD-LRP + ePLND.21 in the study group were injected with 5 mg of indocyanine green (ICG) into the bilateral lobes of the prostate transperineally guiled by transrectal ultrasound 30 min before surgery for lymphography.During the surgical procedure a fluorescence laparoscope,optimized for detection in the near infrared range,was used to visualize the lymph nodes (green fluorescent) in the dissection region in the study group while a common laparoscopy introduced in control one.Lymph nodes were removed in the external iliac vessiles,internal iliac artery,obturator fossa regions,common iliac regions and presacral regions in both groups.Radical prostatectomy was completed in the both groups by similar steps.The operation time,blood loss,number of removed lymph nodes and positive lymph nodes,complication rate,biochemical recurrence (BCR) and metastasis free survival rates in 2 years were recorded and compared in the two groups.Results 51 eligible patients were selected,including 21 in the study group and 30 in the control group.The mean age of biopsy of study group and control one were (66.4 ± 7.7) and (66.8 ± 7.4),the mean age PSA (23.5 ± 16.8) ng/ml and (26.0 ± 20.1) ng/ml,the mean Gleason score of biopsy (8.1 ± 1.0) and (7.9 ± 0.9) respectively,and there was no statistical significant difference between two groups.The mean operation time of study group and control one were (45.9 ± 4.6) min and (56.4 ± 3.2) min,the mean removed lymph nodes were (27.7 ± 5.6) and (22.1 ±5.6) respectively,and there was statistical significant difference between two groups (all P < 0.05).Lymph nodes invasion in pathology were reported in 8 cases(38.1%)in the study groups while 9 (30.0 %) in the control one;the proportion of positive lymph node (metastasis) were 3.2% (19/583) and 3.4% (23/663) in the two groups respectively and no statistically significant difference was noted between the two groups.Lymphorrhagia occurred in 4 cases in the control group,and there was no serious complications in both groups.The median follow-up time was 20 (7-33) month and during this time,BCR observed of 1 (4.7%) in the study group and 8 (26.7%) in the control;meanwhile,the MFSR was recorded of 100.0% (0)in the study group and 86.7% (4)in the control one,showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P =0.04).Conclusions Comparing with LRP,FLRP achieved better results of LN dissection,which will improve oncological outcomes.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of fluorescent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in the comprehensive treatment of lymph node recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2020, 25 patients with lymph node recurrence diagnosed by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT after RP in our hospital were enrolled in this study. The patients were 67 (59-77) years old. The median PSA was 7.7 (0.5-12.6) ng/ml at lymph node recurrence, and was treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), suggesting hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Before recurrence, 4 cases were in T 2 stage, 17 cases in T 3, 4 cases in T 4, 10 cases in N 0, and 15 cases in N 1stage, 25 cases in M 0stage. 2 cases diagnosed as ISUP grade group <3, 9 cases in group 4, and 14 cases in group 5. The median time from radical resection to recurrence was 43 (27-56) months. All 25 cases were diagnosed as lymph node recurrence by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination. Fluorescence retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was performed. Pelvic lymph nodes were detected in the dark field under the fluorescence mode, and positive lymph nodes were found. The white light mode was switched, and the lymph nodes were cleaned, and recorded. For metastatic lymph nodes indicated by preoperative PSMA PET/CT, routine dissection was performed regardless of whether the lymph nodes were fluorescently positive or not. The only routine examination was performed if there were no lymph nodes with fluorescently positive staining in other sites. Perioperative data, biochemical recurrence (BCR) rate, radiological recurrence (RAR) rate, and follow-up data were collected and analyzed. Results:25 patients were pathologically diagnosed with lymph node metastasis. The median lymph node dissection time was 21(15-28) min, estimated blood loss was 30(20-50) ml, hospital days was 4(3-5)d without any severe complications (

Objective To compare and analyze the effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy compare with traditional open surgical in treatment of kidney stones outcome. Methods Selected 120 patients with kidney stones from January 2009 to January 2014 in our hospital, all patients had complete clinical data, included 60 cases of renal sinus traditional lines pelvis lithotomy, established as the control group, and the remaining 60 routine minimally inva-sive percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery, set up minimally invasive group, the operative time, blood loss, postoperative fistula time and hospital stay and complications were compared between two groups. Results 60 patients with invasive group homogeneity of puncture success and smooth gravel, stone successful in 58 cases, the success rate was 96.7%(58/60). Intraoperative complications pneumothorax, colon injury does not appear, one-time stone clearance rate was 80.0%(48/60). Stable vital signs after surgery, no nephrectomy, severe complications wound fistula, pneumothorax oc-curred. 4 cases of postoperative urinary tract infection sustained high fever, anti-infection cure. 1 case duodenal injury control group intraoperative peritoneal injury in 2 cases, 2 cases of postoperative fever, intestinal fistula, urinary tract infection in 8 cases. Operative time, blood loss, postoperative fistula compare the time and duration of hospitalization, of observation group improved significant than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of kidney stones with less trau-ma, less bleeding, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays and can be worthy of promotion and application.
