Robotic inguinal lymph node dissection for melanoma: a novel approach to a complicated problem

ConclusionRecent data suggest a minimum node count of six to seven for inguinal dissection. Of our four dissections, two were above this threshold and there were minimal postoperative complications. Given our limited sample size, future focus should be on increasing the data on this approach to optimize surgical outcomes and oncologic results.
