Robotic or open superficial inguinal lymph node dissection as staging procedures for clinically node negative high risk penile cancer

CONCLUSIONS: We observed similar complication rates and surgical variable outcomes in our analysis apart from operative time and operative drain duration. Oncological outcomes were similar between the two cohorts. RAIL was a reliable staging and potentially therapeutic procedure among clinically node negative patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma with comparable outcomes to an OSILND cohort.PMID:38388244 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.01.036
