THE VALUE OF THE EARLY EXCISION INGUINAL LYMPH NODES IN PATIENTS WITH CARCINOMA OF THE PENIS
SUMMARY
Objective: The aim of this paper is a retrospective evaluation of bilateral groin lymphadenectomy in patients with carcinoma of the penis.
Material and method: In 15 patients with carcinoma of the penis confirmed microscopically non enlarged inguinal lymph nodes has been early cut off in the typical method.
Results: One patient died, remains are in the observation, average 45,4 months. Metastasis of the carcinoma has been detected in the inguinal lymph nodes unilaterally in 5 and bilaterally in 2 operated patients (46,6%). Temporary postoperative complication was observed in 2 (13,2%) patients.
Conclusion: Early groin lymphadenectomy in patients with carcinoma of the penis (TI-3, NO, MO) permid to recognize presence of metastases in non enlarged inguinal lymph nodes in 46,6% cases. Prognostic 5 years survival time without local and distant metastases was 93,4%.
