Cover Story: Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction (ILR) is a promising technique to mitigate the risk of lymphedema in patients undergoing axillary (ALND) or inguinal (ILND) lymph node dissection (LND). This study was conducted to define lymphedema rates and risk factors in the context of melanoma. A retrospective chart review over 5 years identified 66 patients having undergone LND for melanoma (ALND 34, ILND 32). At a median follow-up of 29 months, 85.3% (n = 29) of patients having had an ALND did not experience lymphedema, versus 50.0% (n = 16) of ILND (p = 0.0019). On multivariate analysis, only the location of LND remained a significant predictor of lymphedema, with inguinal location identified as a potential first target for ILR. View this paper
