Abstract
As established in the previous chapter by Nguyen et al. from Berne, Switzerland, the extended template of pelvic lymph node dissection will capture more positive nodes and more uniquely positive nodes. In this chapter, we review a step-by-step method to expose the similar extent of anatomy for optimized cancer staging and control. Our focus is on manipulating the anatomy, retrieving the obvious lymph nodes, and then the more difficult-to-reach lymph nodes.
