Laparoscopically Assisted Ilio-Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection Versus Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection in Melanoma

Abstract: Aim: Morbidity of open inguinal lymphadenectomy (OIL) is high. We use laparoscopy for pelvic time, preservation of the greater saphenous vein and transverse inguinal incisions (Laparoscopically assisted ilio-inguinal lymphadenectomy, LIIL) to improve postoperative outcomes. Patients & methods: Retrospective comparison of 14 patients who underwent LIIL and seven patients who underwent OIL. Results: Fourteen LIIL compared with seven OIL showed a statistically significant reduction in morbidity (15.3 vs 75%) … Show more

“…Because of the large amount of subcutaneous tissue removed during open resection of inguinal lymph nodes, long-term poor healing of the inguinal incision is likely to occur after surgery, with an incidence of more than 50% reported in the literature. Laparoscopic inguinal lymphatic dissection can effectively avoid the common problems of skin necrosis and long-term poor healing of the inguinal incision after open surgery because the surgery is performed in the subcutaneous space, and there is no incision in the skin of the inguinal region, which is less traumatic, the postoperative recovery is fast, and the hospital stay is shortened [ 5 , 27 ].…”

“…Node involvement according to histologic type use of laparoscopy-assisted inguinal dissection seems to decrease complications [16]. Mortality directly related to inguinal dissection as well as postoperative mortality is very low, and is linked to co-morbidities and the underlying cancer [17].…”
