The article discusses research which indicates that postoperative bleeding is the most common complication in patients who undergo retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) procedures, and it mentions the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and testicular cancer diagnoses. The management of stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumors is examined, along with robotic-assisted laparoscopy and blood transfusions for patients.
