Résumé
Thirty-six cases of retroperitoneal lymph node dissections for residual mass after chemotherapy for testicular cancer are reported. In a reference center, the recruitment is modified by the severity of the situations related to very big masses, tumors of poor prognosis and resistant tumors. Lymph node dissection is often atypical and surgery of metastatic residual masses is frequent (13 operations). The 8-year global survival remains stable, over 90%. The 5-year cumulated risk of recurrence is 20%, but these situations can be overtaken.
