Salvage surgical resection for isolated locally recurrent inguinal lymph node metastasis of penile cancer: international study collaboration.
We assessed the merit of performing salvage inguinal lymph node dissection in those infrequent cases of penile cancer with locally recurrent inguinal lymph node metastases in the absence of other suspected sites of disease. ⋯ Salvage inguinal lymph node dissection is a potentially curative treatment in patients with penile cancer with locally recurrent inguinal lymph node metastases in the absence of occult disease. Patients undergoing such salvage surgery should be informed of the high likelihood of postoperative complications.
