Özet

Objective: The essential treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma is nephrectomy. As no lymph node dissection (LND) could be performed in the majority of these patients, healthy staging could not be carried out. In this study, we investigated the impact of LND during nephrectomy on patient survival.
