We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing eLND and sLND. The primary outcomes were OS and RFS, while secondary outcomes included complications such as lymphoceles, sepsis, and urinary tract infections.

No significant differences were observed in OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.66\u20131.37) or RFS (HR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.77\u20131.29) between the eLND and sLND groups. However, eLND was associated with a significantly higher incidence of symptomatic lymphoceles (risk ratio: 2.21, 95% CI 1.13\u20134.34) and no other major complications.
