About this trial
This research study involves the use of two navigation systems, the 3D Slicer-based navigation system, and the Siemens Monaco systems, to simplify the complexity of image-guided lymphadenectomy procedures (surgery to remove one or more lymph nodes) in patients with urological cancer.
Eligibility criteria
