Robotic lymphadenectomy of an internal mammary lymph node metastasis.

Robotic lymphadenectomy of an internal mammary lymph node metastasis. Acta Chir Belg. 2017 Sep 15;:1-2 Authors: Melly L, Jansens JL, Kalscheuer G, Belhaj A, Rondelet B Abstract A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with a left-sided lone internal mammary swollen lymph node on a routine follow-up computer tomography, 42 months after a left mastectomy in the context of a ductal carcinoma grade III. The suspected metastasis was successfully removed in toto using a 3-port-da Vinci robotic procedure and the patient was discharged home without any complication on the third postoperative day. Robotically assisted oncological lymph node removal is safe, easily performed and economically affordable. PMID: 28915769 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
