Elective lymph node dissection for melanoma

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1994
The role of elective lymph node dissection (ELND) in the management of primary melanoma of the skin is a controversial subject. Some authorities consider the indications for this procedure to be broad, whereas others rarely recommend ELND. Voluminous literature reflects these divergent opinions. Unfortunately, this can be confusing for the practitioner

Lymph node dissection in malignant melanoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1980
AbstractRegional node dissection was performed in 120 patients with malignant melanoma. Patients with clinically negative nodes had a 90% survival, where‐as patients with enlarged nodes had a 15% survival. In 45 inguinal dissections, usually associated with a high morbidity, there was only a 4.5% incidence of infection and a 6.5% incidence of skin edge

Complications of Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection

Journal of Urology, 1981
We reviewed the surgical morbidity in 235 patients who underwent retroperitoneal dissection for testis cancer. Of these patients 95 had stage I, 91 had stage II and 49 had stage III disease, and underwent a secondary or primary cytoreductive operation. In the early postoperative period there were 19 major complications in 13 patients (5.5 per cent) and

The prevalence of lymph node (LN) metastasis in esophageal cancer (EC) is widely spread to all three fields, namely, to the neck region, the mediastinal region and the abdominal region. Furthermore, the status of LN metastasis has been recognized as a key factor that influences the outcome after EC surgery.

Complications of Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1988
In summary, the complications of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for low-stage testis cancer appear to be minimal, especially with the advent of nerve sparing techniques. However, the approximate 30 per cent of patients who require primary chemotherapy and do not attain a complete remission are candiates for postchemotherapy retroperitoneal ...

Lymph node dissection for gastric cancer

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1999
Complete tumor removal with margins of clearance at the resection lines must be the aim of today's surgical treatment of gastric cancer, and this must be applied even in lymph node dissection. But, over the last few decades, the extent and impact of lymphadenectomy remains controversial. Whereas Japanese centers advocate extensive lymph node dissection
