Abstract

Twenty-one patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva who were subjected to radical vulvectomy and inguinal-pelvic lymphadenectomy were studied. The overall mortality rate was 24%. Operative- and tumor-related mortalities were 9.5% and 14.2%, respectively. Recurrence was seen in 5 patients. The most common complication was wound infection and breakdown.
