Randomized Controlled Trial
Long-term results of a prospective randomized trial assessing the impact of re-adaptation of the dorsolateral peritoneal layer after extended pelvic lymph node dissection and cystectomy.
To evaluate the long-term oncological and functional outcomes of re-adaptation of the dorsolateral peritoneal layer after pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and cystectomy. ⋯ Re-adaptation of the dorsolateral peritoneal layer after PLND and cystectomy has a beneficial long-term impact on bowel function and postoperative pain without compromising oncological radicality.
