In the researchers' words
This study protocol will evaluate the efficacy of Bovie Medical's J-Plasma® helium based plasma technology in the reduction of lymphoceles following pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The J-Plasma® handpiece will be used during the PLND by dissecting the lymph nodes and sealing the lymphatic channels to prevent lymph leakage.
