Abstract
With the advancement of technology, the inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer has developed rapidly. In this paper, the literature published and indexed on CNKI was searched in the past 10 years. The current status of inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer was described in terms of surgical trends, timing of surgery, surgical methods, and surgical decision-making.
Highlights
With advances in diagnostic technology, improved surgical methods, the use of laparoscopy, new radiotherapy methods, chemotherapeutic drugs, and the use of targeted drugs, the treatment of penile cancer has achieved unprecedented advancement

Summary
With advances in diagnostic technology, improved surgical methods, the use of laparoscopy, new radiotherapy methods, chemotherapeutic drugs, and the use of targeted drugs, the treatment of penile cancer has achieved unprecedented advancement. The current status of inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer was described in terms of surgical trends, timing of surgery, surgical methods, and surgical decision-making. VEIL or/and laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy is a trend in the treatment of penile cancer. The trend of surgery Currently in China, video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) is the preferred surgical procedure for the treatment of penile cancer. Timing of surgery Penile lymphography showed a fixed drainage pattern from the superficial to the deep part of the groin area and to the pelvic lymph nodes. Patients with two or more positive inguinal lymph nodes should undergo pelvic lymph node dissection. Inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer Open inguinal lymphadenectomy (OIL) has gradually decreased, and hospitals around the world are more likely to develop VEIL. VEIL is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique that can reduce postoperative complications, especially flap necrosis, incision dehiscence and incision infection[2]
