    Ep. 313 Approaches to Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection in Contemporary Prostate Cancer Surgery with Dr. Kristen Greene

    Is pelvic lymph node dissection still necessary in the era of PSMA PET imaging? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Ruchi Talwar interviews Dr. Kirsten Greene about how advanced imaging is influencing decisions for radical prostatectomy. They examine the strengths and limits of PSMA PET, the risks and benefits of PLND, and why careful, evidence-based decision-making remains essential. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction03:12 - Risk Calculators and Consent04:39 - Nomograms vs. Complications09:57 - Endpoints That Matter11:38 - PSMA PET Strengths and Limits13:51 - Negative PET Decision-Making15:08 - Positive PET and Multimodal Care18:02 - Fluorescence Guided Surgery19:10 - Counseling on Complications22:27 - Preventing Lymphocele24:56 - How Lahey Wrap Works26:45 - Future Mapping and Therapy28:47 - Research Gaps and Dogma31:07 - Key Pearls and Wrap Up --- More about this episode Dr. Greene explains her approach using MSK and Briganti nomograms alongside PSMA PET, noting that PET scans may miss small nodal disease and quality varies between centers. She emphasizes PLND as a staging tool rather than a curative procedure, outlining potential complications like lymphocele, lymphedema, vascular and ureteral injury, and neuropraxia. The episode highlights her shared decision-making process, surgical techniques for limiting risk, and the importance of multimodal planning, especially for PET-positive nodal disease. Dr. Greene also shares practical tips for lymphocele prevention, including the use of metal clips and the Lahey wrap. --- Resources Different lymph node dissection ranges during radical prostatectomy for patients with prostate cancer: a systematic review and network meta-analysishttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36872312/ Limited versus Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865797/ --- BackTable Urology is the go-to podcast for urologists, urologic oncologists, and urogynecologists.
