Videoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VIL) represents an innovative approach for patients with melanoma lymph node (LN) metastases, mainly aimed at lowering wound-related morbidity. However, long-term data on oncologic safety are still lacking. The aim of this study is to review the oncologic outcome of videoscopic groin dissection in a single inst...

BackgroundIleum obstruction due to internal hernia beneath external iliac artery after pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is extremely rare. We reported a case of acute strangulated internal hernia between the left external iliac artery and psoas major as late complication of laparoscopic hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy.Case presentationA...

The risk of recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is likely related to the amount of tumour in the metastatic lymph node (LN). Therefore, the current TNM classification (N0/N1) make it necessary to find a method to quantify the LN metastasis (LNM). We propose that the quantitative molecular assay One-Step Nucleic-Acid Amplification (OSNA)...

BackgroundSystematic pelvic lymphadenectomy or whole pelvic irradiation is recommended for the patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer. However, the precise pattern of lymphatic tumor spread in cervical cancer is unknown. In the present study we evaluated the distribution of nodal metastases in stage IB1 cervical cancer to explore the possibilities...

Suprapancreatic lymphadenectomy is the essence of D2 radical gastric cancer surgery. The present study aimed to describe clockwise modularized laparoscopic lymphadenectomy in the suprapancreatic area. The data from gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment from September 2016 to December 2018 were collected. Patients were divided int...

BACKGROUND Whether regional lymphadenectomy (RL) should be routinely performed in patients with T1b gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains a subject of debate. AIM To investigate whether RL can improve the prognosis of patients with T1b GBC. METHODS We studied a multicenter cohort of patients with T1b GBC who underwent surgery between 2008 and 2016 at 24...

• Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a rare tumor, with a poor prognosis. • Therapeutic modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. • Surgical resection represents the only chance for cure. • Future studies should focus on factors affecting surgical morbidity and mortality.

Complete lymph node dissection (CLND) following a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been the standard treatment for years. However, there is increasing evidence that CLND could be omitted. Approximately 80% of patients with a positive sentinel node biopsy do not have additional nodal involvement; in these contexts, the SLNB could be di...

We aimed to evaluate the impact of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy on adjuvant therapy, recurrence and survival in early endometrial cancer (EC). We retrospectively included all patients who underwent SLN biopsy for EC between February 2007 and March 2018. Of the 249 EC patients included, the overall SLN detection rate was 91 %. SLNs were posi...

Objectives This review aims to introduce preoperative scoring systems to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) and ongoing clinical trials to investigate the therapeutic role of lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer. Methods We summarized previous reports on the preoperative prediction models for LNM and evaluated their validity to omit lymphadenect...
