Penile cancer is a rare malignancy that begins in the tissues of the penis, commonly presenting as a growth or lesion on the glans or foreskin.
Uncircumcised males with poor hygiene, those infected with HPV, smokers, and individuals with chronic inflammation are at higher risk.
This is a minimally invasive procedure where robotic technology is used to remove lymph nodes affected by cancer, offering precision and faster recovery.
Surgery is the primary treatment for penile cancer. Depending on the stage, partial or total penectomy may be performed.
Good hygiene, HPV vaccination, and avoiding smoking can reduce the risk of penile cancer.
It minimizes complications, reduces recovery time, and offers better cosmetic and functional outcomes compared to traditional surgery.
