A technique of ilioinguinal lymph node dissection for carcinoma of the penis

W F Whitmore Jr et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

A technique has been described for ilioinguinal lymph node dissection that provides good exposure for both the pelvic and inguinal dissections and circumvents the anatomic barrier presented by the inguinal ligament. It also enables one to evaluate the pelvic lymph nodes unilaterally or bilaterally prior to the inguinofemoral dissection if one elects to do so. A limited experience demonstrates the practical feasibility of this procedure. Although the results with this technique compare favorably with those of other techniques, experience is too small to permit categoric assessment of its relative advantages and disadvantages.
