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 [0.94, 2.60]; P < .001), shorter drainage time (SMD = 2.69; 95% CI [1.47, 3.91]; P < .001), reduced wound infection rate (odds ratio [OR] = 10.62; 95% CI [4.01, 28.10]; P < .001); reduced skin necrosis rate (OR = 7.48; 95% CI [2.79, 20.05]; P < .001), lower lymphedema rate (OR = 3.23; 95% CI [1.51, 6.88]; P = .002), equivalent lymphocele rate (OR = 0.83; 95% CI [0.31, 2.23]; P = .720), and parallel recurrence rate (OR = 1.54; 95% CI [0.41, 5.84]; P = 0.530). However, the number of dissected lymph nodes (OR = 0.25; 95% CI [0.03, 0.47]; P = .030) was slightly increased in the O-ILND group. GRADE recommendations of primary outcomes were shown in a summary of findings table.

Conclusions

For perioperative outcomes, VE-ILND is superior to O-ILND. For short-term oncological outcomes, VE-ILND is comparable to O-ILND. However, long-term oncological control still requires further verification.

Project description:Background and objectiveNodal metastasis is a major survival and prognostic factor in penile cancer (PeCa). Thus, accurate staging, prognosis, and treatment selection require adequate inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND). ILND surgery should balance oncologic rigor with morbidity and postoperative complications. Our aim was to compare the feasibility and safety of open ILND (OILND) and videoendoscopic ILND (VEILND) in patients with PeCa.MethodsWe conducted a single-center randomized trial with a within-patient design between October 2019 and April 2023. Patients who were undergoing either staging or radical ILND for PeCa were included and randomized to receive either OILND or VEILND on one side, with the other technique then used on the contralateral side. The trial was approved by the local ethics committee and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05887921). The primary outcome was the safety of VEILND. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative morbidity rates and surgical outcomes for the two procedures, as well as oncological outcomes according to survival estimates.Key findings and limitationsWe included 14 patients in the study. Median follow-up was 12 mo (interquartile range [IQR] 12-17). There were no significant differences in operative time and the number of lymph nodes removed between OILND and VEILND. However, the median time to drain removal was significantly shorter in the VEILND group (15 d, IQR 13-17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12-17) than in the OILND group (27 d, IQR 20-41, 95% CI 24-31; p = 0.025). No intraoperative complications were observed, but postoperative complications occurred in three cases (21.4%, 95% CI 8.4-37.8%) in the VEILND group and eight (57.1%, 95% CI 18.6-54.3%) in the OILND group (p = 0.032).Conclusions and clinical implicationsVEILND represents a safe technique to consider for either staging or curative intent in PeCa and seems to have an advantage over OILND in terms of morbidity. Further high-powered studies are warranted to confirm these preliminary results.Patient summaryWe compared the outcomes of two different surgical techniques to remove lymph nodes in patients with penile cancer. We found that a video-assisted keyhole surgery approach seems to result in a lower rate of complications than after open surgery.

Project description:BackgroundInguinal lymphadenectomy (iLAD) is effective for penile carcinoma treatment, but usually results in many complications. This study aims to clinically evaluate the feasibility and clinical significance of a laparoscopic radical iLAD approach partly preserving great saphenous vein branches for penile carcinoma patients.MethodsA total of 48 patients with penile cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical iLAD with retention of the great saphenous vein in Henan Cancer Hospital from 2012 Jan to 2020 Dec were included in this study. Sixteen penile carcinoma patients who underwent laparoscopic radical iLAD preserving parts of superficial branches of the great saphenous vein were identified as the sparing group, and the matched 32 patients who incised those branches were identified as control group. This new procedure was performed by laparoscopy, preserving parts of superficial branches of the great saphenous vein, superficial lateral and medial femoral veins. Clinicopathological features and perioperative variables were recorded. Postoperative complications, including skin flap necrosis, lymphorrhagia, and lower extremity edema were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsWe found that the operative time of the sparing group is significantly longer than the control group (p = 0.011). There was no statistical difference in intraoperative blood loss, the lymph node number per side, average time to remove the drainage tube and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups. Compared to the control group, the sparing group showed a significantly decreased incidence of lower extremity edema (p = 0.018). The preservation of parts of superficial branches of the great saphenous vein was mainly decreased the incidence of edema below ankle (p = 0.034).ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that the iLAD with preserving parts of superficial branches of the great saphenous vein, with a decreased incidence of postoperative complications, is a safe and feasible approach for penile cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe safety and oncological efficacy of laparoscopic re-resection of incidental gallbladder cancer have not been studied. This study aimed to compare laparoscopic with open re-resection of incidentally discovered gallbladder cancer while minimizing selection bias.MethodsThis was a multicentre retrospective observational cohort study of patients with incidental gallbladder cancer who underwent re-resection with curative intent at four centres between 2000 and 2017. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analysed by intention to treat. Inverse probability of surgery treatment weighting using propensity scoring was undertaken.ResultsA total of 255 patients underwent re-resection (190 open, 65 laparoscopic). Nineteen laparoscopic procedures were converted to open operation. Surgery before 2011 was the only factor associated with conversion. Duration of hospital stay was shorter after laparoscopic re-resection (median 4 versus 6 days; P < 0·001). Three-year OS rates for laparoscopic and open re-resection were 87 and 62 per cent respectively (P = 0·502). Independent predictors of worse OS were residual cancer found at re-resection (hazard ratio (HR) 1·91, 95 per cent c.i. 1·17 to 3·11), blood loss of at least 500 ml (HR 1·83, 1·23 to 2·74) and at least four positive nodes (HR 3·11, 1·46 to 6·65). In competing-risks analysis, the RFS incidence was higher for laparoscopic re-resection (P = 0·038), but OS did not differ between groups. Independent predictors of worse RFS were one to three positive nodes (HR 2·16, 1·29 to 3·60), at least four positive nodes (HR 4·39, 1·96 to 9·82) and residual cancer (HR 2·42, 1·46 to 4·00).ConclusionLaparoscopic re-resection for selected patients with incidental gallbladder cancer is oncologically non-inferior to an open approach. Dissemination of advanced laparoscopic skills and timely referral of patients with incidental gallbladder cancer to specialized centres may allow more patients to benefit from this operation.
