OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the reliability and morbidity of dynamic sentinel node biopsy compared with radical inguinal lymphadenectomy (RIL) in the treatment of selected patients with squamous cell penile carcinoma.
METHODS
We retrospectively considered patients with clinically node-negative Stage
From the study of this series of 50 patients suffering from cancer of the penis, and in particular from the comparison of two successive groups, several facts stand out which determine our present attitude: -subjects suffering from cancer of the penis, at least in our area, are aged, fragile people,
BACKGROUND
Penile cancer is a rare tumor entity. Primary therapy consists of tumor excision (laser therapy, circumcision, partial or complete penectomy). Therapy of advanced or metastasized penile cancer is still challenging due to high morbidity with postoperative lymph edema, fistula, wound
To assess the operative morbidity, we reviewed retrospectively 101 groin dissections performed in 67 patients for management of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. No patients died, but only 18 per cent experienced no postoperative complications. Early complications included flap necrosis in 50
OBJECTIVE
To review our series of epidermoid carcinoma of the penis.
METHODS
30 cases of epidermoid carcinoma of the penis are reviewed. The clinical features, tumor stage, grade, treatment and outcome are analyzed.
RESULTS
The time to diagnosis ranged from one month to 10 years, mean 10.3 months (1
A 64-year-old man was admitted with dyspnea and edema of the left lower extremity to the Department of Medicine, and referred to our department presenting with anuria and scrotal edema. Physical examinations revealed a large nodular tumor extending from his penis to the lower abdomen. He was
OBJECTIVE
Classic inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer is associated with significant immediate and long-term sequelae limiting its use in the prophylactic setting. Preservation of the saphenous vein has been shown in the gynecological oncology literature to reduce the morbidity of inguinal
Stewart-Treves syndrome (STS) is a rare cutaneous lymphangiosarcoma developing from chronic lymph edema as a consequence of radical mastectomy or surgical invasion of the groin for the treatment of cervical or penile cancer. Previous reports suggested possible mechanisms in the development of
Obligatory statements on the value of lymphadenectomy in penile cancer are difficult because of the rarity of the tumor. Reservations against a general application of inguinal or ileoinguinal lymphadenectomy in penile cancer are made because of severe complications as long-term lymph fistulas, skin
The present study was to examine the distribution of lymphatic vessels in the penis of normal adult males, which could provide an anatomical basis for improvement of incisions in penile lengthening surgery, and may also help to prevent postoperative refractory edema. Thirteen normal adult male
Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy - VEIL - has emerged as an alternative to reduce post-surgical complications (PSC) in patients with penile cancer submitted to inguinal lymphadenectomy (IL). In some series, these PSC are observed in more than 50% of patients. The objectives of OBJECTIVE
We reviewed our recent experience with inguinal lymph node dissection in patients with penile cancer to assess the incidence and magnitude of complications caused by this procedure.
METHODS
Radical bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed in 170 patients (340 procedures).
OBJECTIVE
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
