Usage and survival implications of surgical staging of inguinal lymph nodes in intermediate- to high-risk, clinical localized penile cancer: A propensity-score matched analysis

Utilization of SSILN for penile SCC is low and has not changed significantly since the publication of guidelines in the United States. In particular, nonacademic institutions were less likely to adhere to recommendations for performance of SSILNs. We found the omission of SSILNs is associated with a significant increase in mortality.
