Core Tip

Core tip: Ilio-inguinal lymph node dissection (IILD) has classically been associated with high postoperative complications which include flap necrosis, wound infection, seroma formation, and lymphedema. A modified skin bridge technique of performing IILD aims to minimize the postoperative wound complications. It is an effective method to minimize flap necrosis without compromising adequate oncologically safe dissection.
