The mean number of nodes was 12.9 (range, 2-27); the mean number of positive nodes was 2.6 (range, 0-8). There was 1 conversion to laparotomy.Conclusions: Robotic transperitoneal infrarenal aortic lymphadenectomy can be performed adequately and safely with the robotic column at the patient's head. Operating table rotation and additional trocar sites are needed when used in conjunction with robotic pelvic surgery.
