Following the interesting reading of the article “Robotic inguinal lymph node dissection for melanoma: a novel approach to a complicated problem”, the authors review the pros and cons of a minimally invasive technique for lymph node dissection, the consequences of complete lymph node dissection and the possible treatments for lymphedema, such as lymph node flap transfer and multiple lymphatic-venous anastomoses. The authors also review the possible benefits of applying the robotic technique to anatomical sites other than the inguinal one.

Abstract

Following the interesting reading of the article “Robotic inguinal lymph node dissection for melanoma: a novel approach to a complicated problem”, the authors review the pros and cons of a minimally invasive technique for lymph node dissection, the consequences of complete lymph node dissection and the possible treatments for lymphedema, such as lymph node flap transfer and multiple lymphatic-venous anastomoses. The authors also review the possible benefits of applying the robotic technique to anatomical sites other than the inguinal one.
