title: [Results of electrosurgical vulvectomy with postoperative irradiation of the inguinal lymph nodes in vulvar cancer].
abstract: Clinical data on 669 patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva were seen between 1952 and 1982. All of these patients were available for 5-year evaluation. The crude survival for these patients was 62%, and the "cleaned" 5-year survival for 585 patients was 70%. All patients were treated with radical vulvectomy using the warm knife and open-wound technique. Treatment of the regional lymph nodes was performed by irradiation alone. This simple surgical technique in combination with radiotherapy applied only to the inguinal lymph nodes gives an excellent result without the complications associated with aggressive surgery.
