Prevention of Seroma Following Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection With Prophylactic Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is indicated following metastatic malignant melanoma, and is associated with a high-complication rate, of which many begin with the formation of seroma and ends in complicated wound healing, reoperation, multiple outpatient visits and re-hospitalization. Prevention of seroma may therefore lead to a reduction of many of the preceding complications and improve patient quality-of-life. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and oncological safety of prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy following ILND in melanoma patients.
