Videoscopic ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy for groin lymph node metastases from melanoma.
BACKGROUND Groin lymph node dissection for melanoma is burdened by high postoperative morbidity. Videoscopic lymphadenectomy may lower the incidence of complications, including infection, dehiscence and lymphoedema. This pilot study aimed to investigate the feasibility and postoperative outcomes of videoscopic ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy in patients with inguinal nodal melanoma metastases. M...
متن کاملExtraperitoneal laparoscopically assisted ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy for treatment of malignant melanoma.
BACKGROUND Current treatment of malignant melanoma of the leg includes ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy (IIL). Standard open IIL (open IIL) includes sectioning of the inguinal ligament to gain access to the iliac nodes. Extraperitoneal laparoscopic IIL (lap IIL) is a feasible, less aggressive approach. It can be combined with standard superficial lymphadenectomy for treatment of malignant melanoma....
متن کاملSuperficial and deep lymph node dissection for stage III cutaneous melanoma: clinical outcome and prognostic factors
BACKGROUND The aims of this retrospective analysis were to evaluate the effect of combined superficial and deep groin dissection on disease-free and melanoma-specific survival, and to identify the most important factors for predicting the involvement of deep nodes according to clinically or microscopically detected nodal metastases. METHODS Between January 1996 and December 2005, 133 consecut...
متن کاملRadical lymph node dissection for melanoma.
BACKGROUND Therapeutic lymph node dissection for melanoma aims to achieve regional disease control. Radical lymphadenectomy (RLND) can be a difficult procedure associated with significant postoperative morbidity. The aims of the present study were to review regional disease control and morbidity in a series of lymphadenectomies performed within a specialist unit. METHODS The present study inv...
متن کاملTumor thickness, level of invasion and node dissection in stage I cutaneous melanoma.
From a retrospective study of 97 and a prospective study of 41 Stage I cutaneous melanomas, it was found that tumor thickness is a better measure of prognosis than is the level of invasion of the tumor. The chance of developing recurrent disease appears to be directly proportional to tumor thickness. Prophylactic lymph node dissection doubled the rate of survival for patients with lesions great...
