Long-term oncological results in penile cancer treated by inguinal lymphadenectomy.

Purpose: In 95% of cases, penile cancer is a squamous cell carcinoma whose specificity is lymphatic spread with the inguinal lymph nodes as the first relay route. Inguinal lymph node dissection is a primordial part of the treatment. The objective was to assess the oncological results of inguinal lymph node dissection in penile cancer at our centre.

Morbidity and risk factors for complications of inguinal lymph node dissection in penile cancer.

Purpose: To assess the morbidity of inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) in penile cancer, then to compare this morbidity with that of ILND performed in the context of skin cancer treatment.

Methods: We retrospectively included all patients having undergone ILND between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2019 in our centre's urology department in the context of treatment of penile cancer or skin cancer. Postoperative complications were reported in accordance with the Clavien-Dindo classification system.
