Abstract

Inguinal lymphadenectomy can be curative in patients with small volume inguinal metastases and those with more significant adenopathy responding to combination chemotherapy. However, several series collected for 15 to 40 years attest to the significant morbidity associated with lymphadenectomy. We reviewed our recent experience with lymphadenectomy in patients with invasive penile cancer who were judged to require inguinal staging and therapeutic procedures to assess the incidence and magnitude of complications caused by this procedure, especially in those with no palpable adenopathy (prophylactic group). A total of 106 lymphadenectomy procedures were performed in 53 patients. The indications for dissection were prophylactic in 66 (62%) patients in whom a superficial dissection alone was completed on the ipsilateral side, therapeutic in 28 (26%) in whom superficial, deep and ipsilateral pelvic dissections were performed, and palliative in 12 (11%) undergoing extensive resection of inguinal and abdominal wall tissue after chemotherapy. Minor postoperative complications included those requiring local wound débridement in the clinic, mild to moderate leg edema, seroma formation not requiring aspiration and minimal skin edge necros...Continue Reading
