[Skin incision in axillary lymph node excision]

The described T-shaped skin incision lines make a wide representation of the axillary groove possible, which is the supposition for a radical lymphonodectomy. There was no morbidity in the post-operative period. In addition to it the T-shaped skin incision lines can be combined easily with the dissection incontinuity for treatment of malignant melanomas of the skin with high risk and favourable anatomic positions of the lesions.
