Lymph node count at inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy and groin recurrences in vulvar cancer.

Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the risk factors for groin recurrence (GR) in patients with primary vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy (IFL) without lymph node metastases and/or adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: The study is a multicenter retrospective review of clinical and histopathological data of patients with lymph node-negative vulvar SCC who underwent an IFL. Patients with and without GRs were compared to identify risk factors.

Bladder polyps following Avaulta anterior mesh vaginal wall repair.

All of these symptoms resolved after mesh removal. This case emphasizes that not all complications of mesh are known.
