All patients had detailed clinical and pathological data recorded prospectively in a database.

Drains were removed when the amount of lymph was less than 20cc in the last 24 hours.

Conclusions: The number of nodes removed, age at surgery and the surgical volume are the only variables which can predict prolunged limphorrhea after RP and PLND. These variables may help urologists to determine when a pelvic drain cannot be safely omitted.
