The Impact of Saphenous Vein Sparing During Inguinal Lymphadenectomy on Postoperative Morbidity in Women With Vulval Cancer

Abstract: This per groin meta-analysis updates on the current evidence suggesting the SV sparing improves postoperative outcomes following IFL in VC patients. Where sentinel biopsy is not indicated, this risk-reducing strategy should be considered in selected VC patients undergoing IFL until a multicenter randomized controlled trial becomes available.

“…73,92e94 The preservation of the saphenous vein seems to reduce the rate of lymphedema, cellulitis, and dehiscence. 95 Multiple retrospective studies have investigated time-based or volumebased IFLN drainage to guide drain removal, with no definitive conclusions. Overall, short duration of use (<3 days) was associated with higher rates of wound breakdown, whereas longer duration of use (>7 days) was associated with higher rates of lymphedema.…”

“…As previously mentioned, the several surgical amendments that have been developed since the initial description of the surgery contributed to reduce postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing full lymphadenectomy (111). For example, Saphenous vein sparing improves postoperative outcomes in patients following inguino femoral lymphadenectomy (119). While progressive implementation of SLN in vulvar cancer decreased the risk of lower limb lymphedema by 10 fold, factors associated with secondary morbidity are less described (120).…”
