Li> Laos of a diameter of less than 2 cm and the invasive depth of not more than 5 mm can be widely cut with u with a safe cutting area of at least 1 cm from the shore. The inguinal lymph nodes increase with the tumor size and depth of invasion. So with U> 2cm and the invasive depth> 5mm need to conduct the dredging lymph node.

Phase III- IV

Phase III can be operated and unable to operate. If the ability to remove damage to the cutting area has no cancer tissue, does not damage the sphincter affecting the urination, it can be considered for surgery. Small surgery can be spacious in combination with inguinal lymph nodes. Li>

In case of tumor lying on the middle line (damage to both sides), the inguinal lymph nodes are needed on both sides.
