Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy vs open inguinal lymphadenectomy for carcinoma penis: Expanding role and comparison of outcomes
Urology Nov 22, 2017
Yadav SS, et al. - The authors undertook a comparative evaluation of the variations in the morbidity profile, oncological yield & efficacy between video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy and open inguinal lymphadenectomy cases for carcinoma penis. It was underscored that video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy could deliver equivalent lymph node yield similar to open inguinal lymphadenectomy, displaying markedly less morbidity. It was not influenced by either the palpability or number of palpable nodes. Hence, there existed a possibility that this minimally invasive technique could yield a prudent alternative for the management of the inguinal region in carcinoma penis.
