The data were reasonably consistent with previous studies. Although wound complications occurred, most were managed conservatively; as a result, overall morbidity was acceptable. Panniculectomy has been previously shown to facilitate lymphadenectomy and increase LN yield; however, the present results did not substantiate this conclusion. More research is required to determine which patients are optimal candidates for combined procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
