Is completion lymphadenectomy after a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy for cutaneous melanoma always necessary?

HYPOTHESIS Completion lymph node dissection (CLND) has usually been recommended after metastatic disease is identified in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy to eradicate further metastases in nonsentinel nodes. We hypothesized that patients with negative lymph nodes included in the initial SLN specimen have low risk of metastases in the residual draining basin and may not require CLND. DESI...

Hidden Sentinel Node in Cutaneous Melanoma

functional and aesthetic results [3]. In case of more extensive defects involving both scrotal and perineal skin loss, we favor split thickness skin grafts for defect coverage.
