Abstract

The authors report a case of trocar site metastasis, one year after laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. This is the seventh published case of trocar site metastasis in laparoscopic urological surgery. The lymph node resection procedure and the histological type of the tumour appear to be risk factors for the development of wall metastases.
