Abstract
VEIL is safe and feasible for experienced surgeons with advanced laparoscopic skills and familiarity with groin anatomy. The post-operative morbidity appears lower compared to the open procedure, mainly for wound/skin related complications. The number of harvested LN and the regional recurrence rate is comparable to that of conventional groin dissection. Before VEIL technique can be considered suitable for routine clinical practice, comparable oncological outcomes and lower post-operative morbidity should be assessed in a randomized controlled trial.
