Brief Title: Detection of Lymphnodes Using ICG During RARP
Official Title: Detection of Lymph Nodes by Means of Intraoperative Fluorescence Lymphography Using Indocyanine Green (ICG) During the Radical Robot-assisted Prostatectomy
Study ID: NCT02163083
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate, whether the detection of lymph nodes by means of intraoperative fluorescence lymphography as part of lymphadenectomy in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is higher than without the use of indocyanine green (ICG).
Detailed Description: ICG is a fluorescent dye that fluoresces green bound to proteins under illumination in the near-infrared range. Using this dye allows to visualize lymphatic nodes, by being injected into the tumor or directly surrounding tissue.
