| Abstract | Vulvar carcinoma is an uncommon cancer. The incidence is 4% of all gynecologic cancer. The main treatment of vulvar carcinoma is surgery that consists of primary tumor resection and groin node dissection. Many complications can be occurred following the groin node dissection such as lymphocyst, lymphedema, and cellulitis. This aim of this literature review is to fnd the effcacy of sentinel lymph node (SLN; the frst group of lymph node that the tumor passes through) dissection which evaluated with frozen section. The metastatic SLN group then underwent groin node dissection while the negative SLN group omitted such procedure. The results showed that SLN dissection can replace the unnecessary groin node dissection and reduce the complications from this procedure without deteriorating the patient outcome. |
