Association of super-extended lymphadenectomy at radical cystectomy with perioperative complications and re-hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated with radical cystectomy and lymphadenectomy (LAD) for bladder cancer to assess the differential association of the extent of LAD with perioperative complications and re-hospitalization.

Materials and methods

LAD templates were defined as limited (lLAD = external, internal iliac and obturator), extended (eLAD = up to crossing of ureter and presacral lymph nodes), and super-extended (sLAD = up to the inferior mesenteric artery). Logistic regression models investigated the association of LAD templates with intraoperative, 30- and 30-90-day postoperative complications, as well as re-hospitalizations within 30 and 30-90 days.

Results

A total of 284 patients were available for analysis. sLAD led to a higher l
