Comparison of clinical feasibility and oncological outcomes between video endoscopic and open inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To compare the clinical feasibility and oncological outcomes of video endoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection (VE-ILND) and open inguinal lymph node dissection (O-ILND) in the management of penile cancer.

Methods

We searched published articles in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases. Data were extracted by 2 independent authors, and meta-analysis was performed by using Review Manager software version 5.3.

Results

Ten studies were included. Compared with the O-ILND group, the VE-ILND group exhibited less intraoperative blood loss (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 3.12; 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs] [1.27, 4.98]; P = .001), shorter hospital stay (SMD = 1.77; 95% CIs [0.
