Abstract

Objective: The goal of the study was to assess the feasibility of Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection (L-MILND) for carcinoma of the vulva where sentinel lymph node biopsy could not be done. Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection (L-MILND) is a procedure developed to decrease morbidity associated with inguinal lymphadenectomy while maintaining acceptable oncological outcomes. Initial experience and feasibility of this technique at the authors’ institution is reported.
