Abstract: Objective To verify whether the concomitant performance of modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy and penectomy may increase complications and compromise oncological effectiveness.Methods From June 2002 to June 2010,a total of 110 simultaneous inguinal lymphadenectomies were performed on 55 patients (mean age 49 years),including 107 modified radical lymphadenectomies,2 radical lymphadenectomies and 1 lymphadenectomy before which the sapheous vein was resected.The records of all patients were reviewed.Results Of 107 simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy,only 1 (0.9％) had wound infection.There were 18 ( 16.8％ ) leg lymphedema and 6 (5.6％) skin flap necrosis,postoperatively.The average number of inguinal lymph nodes dissected was 11 (3 -23 ).Overall 3-year survival was 84％.Conclusions Penile surgery combined with simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy could be feasible,which may have oncological control without increasing the risk of surgical complications.
