    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Elective regional node dissection (ERND) for clinical stage I malignant melanoma (MM) of the skin is a safe procedure. Surgical techniques for axillary and inguinal lymph node removal ensure complete extirpation and good wound healing without mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Malignant melanoma (MM) is a significant skin cancer.
    • Clinical stage I MM requires surgical management.
    • Elective regional node dissection (ERND) is a treatment option for early-stage MM.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ERND for clinical stage I MM.
    • To describe surgical techniques for lymph node dissection in MM.
    • To assess wound healing and complication rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 226 patients with clinical stage I MM.
    • ERND performed on the leg, arm, or trunk.
    • Specific surgical techniques: T-shaped incision for axillary nodes, spindle-shaped excision for inguinal nodes.

    Main Results:

    • No mortality associated with ERND.
    • Successful en bloc extirpation of regional lymph nodes.
    • Well-healing wounds achieved with both surgical techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • ERND is a safe and effective procedure for clinical stage I MM.
    • The described surgical techniques facilitate complete lymph node removal and good wound healing.
    • ERND can be safely performed without operative mortality.
