Despite being less morbid than (modified) inguinal LN dissection, DSNB is still associated with a considerable risk of postoperative mild-to-moderate complications. This risk increases with increasing number of LNs removed. Further procedural refinement aimed at removing the true sentinel node(s) only, may help further reduce the morbidity of surgical staging in PeCa.
