Popis: Based on a literature review and their own personal experience, the Authors describe the usefulness of pelvic lymph node dissection in the case of bladder, prostate or penis cancer, and its four main aims: staging, cure, prophylaxis and debulking. While in the case of bladder cancer all the afore-mentioned aims may be taken into consideration, in the case of prostatic cancer only staging is of major importance; in the case of penis cancer, lymph node dissection has clearly defined indications.
