ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Comparison of the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (L-RPLND) and open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (O-RPLND) for low-stage (stage I/II) testicular germ cell tumors.METHODS:
The authors performed a systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis of the primary outcomes of interest according to PRISMA criteria, and the quality assessment of the included studies followed the AMSTAR guidelines. Four databases were searched, including Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The search period was from the creation of each database to October 2022. The statistical analysis software uses Stata17.RESULTS:
There were nine studies involving 579 patients. Compared with O-RPLND, L-RPLND was associated with shorter length of stay [weighted mean difference (WMD)=-3.99, 95% CI -4.80 to -3.19, P <0.05], less estimated blood loss (WMD=-0.95, 95% CI -1.35 to -0.54, P <0.05), shorter time to oral intake after surgery (WMD=-0.77, 95% CI -1.50 to -0.03, P <0.05), and lower overall complications (odds ratio=0.58, 95% CI 0.38-0.87, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis found that the complication rate of Clavien-Dindo grade II was lower in L-RPLND (odds ratio=0.24, 95% CI 0.11-0.55, P <0.05). Interestingly, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operation time, lymph node yields, and recurrence rate during follow-up.CONCLUSION:
L-RPLND is superior to O-RPLND and is worthy of clinical promotion.
