We recommend the use of subcuticular suture for wound closure. Patients who undergo lymphadenectomy with a node count per groin of more than 7 should be closely monitored for lymphedema and referred promptly to specialist services. The prolonged use of suction drainage may increase the risk of lymphedema.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
