Abstract
- Background: Inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND) has historically been associated with substantial morbidity. The objective of this study was to obtain contemporary ILND morbidity rates and to identify potentially preventable risk factors. Methods: We carried out a retrospective review of medical records for all superficial, deep, and combination groin dissections performed at a single, high-volume academic centre between January 2007 and December 2020. We collected data points for patient, disease, and surgery characteristics, and cancer outcomes. The outcome of interest was any complication within 30 days of surgery. Complications included wound infection, wound necrosis or disruption, seroma, drainage procedure, hematoma, and lymphedema. We performed multivariate logistic regression using SAS version 9.4. Results: We identified 139 patients having undergone 89 superficial, 12 deep, and 38 combined dissection types, respectively. Melanoma accounted for 84.9% of cases. Of these patients, 56.1% had an adverse postoperative event within 30 days. Increasing age (odds ratio [OR] 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.07, p < 0.01) and number of positive lymph nodes harvested (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.00-1.50, p = 0.05) were associated with more complications. Patients with deep dissection showed a lower likelihood of complications than those with superficial dissection (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.03-0.84, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Complication rates after ILND remain high. We identified a number of risk factors, providing opportunities for better selection and prevention. Contexte : La lymphad nectomie inguinale (LI) a toujours t associ e une morbidit importante. Cette tude avait pour but de mesurer les taux de morbidit actuellement associ s la LI et d'en identifer les facteurs de risque potentiellement vitables. M thodes : Nous avons proc d une revue r trospective des dossiers m dicaux de tous les cas de curage inguinal superficiel, profond et complet effectu s dans un seul centre hospitalier universitaire achaland entre janvier 2007 et d cembre 2020. Nous avons recueilli des donn es relatives aux caract ristiques des malades, des maladies et des chirurgies, de m me que l'issue des cancers. Le param tre principal tait toute complication survenant dans les 30 jours suivant la chirurgie. Les complications incluaient infection, n crose ou d hiscence de la plaie, s rome, pose de drain, h matome et lymphoed me. Nous avons proc d une analyse de r gression logistique multivari e l'aide du logiciel SAS Enterprise 9.4. R sultats : Nous avons recens 139 personnes ayant subi un curage inguinal : 89 superficiels, 12 profonds et 38 complets. Un m lanome justifiait l'intervention dans 84,9% des cas. Parmi ces malades, 56,1% ont eu une complication postop ratoire dans les 30 jours suivants l'intervention. Un ge avanc (rapport des cotes [RC] 1,04, intervalle de confiance [IC] de 95% 1,01-1,07, p < 0,01) et le nombre de ganglions lymphatiques positifs r s qu s (RC 1,22, IC de 95% 1,00-1,50, p = 0,05) ont t associ s plus de complications. Les curages profonds ont t associ s une probabilit moindre de complications comparativement aux curages superficiels (RC 0,15, IC de 95% 0,03-0,84, p < 0,05). Conclusion : Les taux de complications suivant la lymphad nectomie inguinale restent lev s. Nous avons identif certains facteurs de risque qui sont autant d'occasions de mieux s lectionner les malades et d'am liorer la pr vention.<br />Inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND) is a surgical proced ure used for the management of regionally advanced or recurrent malignancies such as melanoma.
