Saphenous Vein Sparing Superficial Inguinal Dissection in Lower Extremity Melanoma

Aim. The classic inguinal lymph node dissection is the main step for the regional control of the lower extremity melanoma, but this surgical procedure is associated with significant postoperative morbidity. The permanent lymphedema is the most devastating long-term complication leading to a significant decrease in the patient's quality of life. In this study we present our experience with modif...

Morbidity and oncologic outcome after saphenous vein-sparing inguinal lymphadenectomy in melanoma patients

Variations in surgical procedure, such as sparing of the saphenous vein, have been proposed to reduce surgical morbidity.
