Inguinal sentinel node dissection versus standard inguinal node dissection in patients with vulvar cancer: A comparison of the size of metastasis detected in inguinal lymph nodes

SLN dissection with ultra-staging allows for a more extensive pathologic examination of lymph nodes and may allow for the detection of smaller tumor foci than the traditional pathological examination of lymph nodes obtained from a CND. The clinical implication of the detection of these micrometastasis and smaller metastasis remains to be determined.
