Abstract
Learning Objectives: Evaluate all patients undergoing radical pelvic surgery to determine whether they should have pelvic lymph node dissection. Determine to what extent a pelvic lymph node dissection should be performed and analyze the risks involved. Based on best practices, assess whether pelvic lymph node dissection is beneficial for staging and prognosis.
