Based on the results, the physician will determine the number and localization of metastases, and plan the upcoming intervention.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>On the eve of the intervention<\/strong>, you will receive an injection of radioactively labeled PSMA.

After anesthesia, the surgeon makes small incisions through which he inserts endoscopic instruments, a gamma probe and a video camera into the pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity.

The gamma probe detects the lymph nodes affected by metastases by a radioactive label, and the surgeon also removes them endoscopically.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The video camera continuously transmits a three-dimensional image of the operating field in 12-fold magnification to the monitor. As the surgeon sees the operating field in multiple magnification, he preserves the nerve endings and large blood vessels. This significantly reduces the surgical risks.
