Anatomic Aspects of Inguinal Lymph Nodes Applied to Lymphadenectomy in Penile Cancer
Figure 3
(a) Inguino crural dissection in formalin-preserved cadaver. The superficial nodes (SN) remain in their original position. In this specimen, just one deep inguinal lymph node is located medially to the femoral vein (F). S: saphena magna vein; SE: superficial epigastric vein; *-external pudendal vein; SSN: superficial sentinel node, as previously described by Cabanas [10, 11]. (b) Schematic draw with superficial and deep nodes of the inguinal region and the iliac nodes.
