Oncological outcome and complications of post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal surgery in non-seminomatous germ cell tumours - a systematic review.

When patient selection is made, recurrence rates for the open unilateral template are comparable to the bilateral template. The risk of complications is highest after an open bilateral template. Laparoscopic and robotic surgery should not be used as a standard procedure. More studies are required with larger patient populations and longer follow-up.
