At the Asian Center of Oncology and Haematology, our skilled uro-oncologists perform Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection—a surgical procedure that involves removing lymph nodes from the groin area. Also known as groin dissection or inguinal lymphadenectomy, this operation is crucial in preventing the spread of certain cancers.

Lymph vessels are responsible for transporting lymph fluid, which helps in filtering waste and fighting infections. However, this fluid can also carry cancer cells to other parts of the body. By removing the affected lymph nodes, the risk of cancer spread is significantly reduced.

Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection plays a critical role in the treatment of penile, vulvar, anal, and cutaneous (skin) cancers. After the procedure, the surgical team may advise specific post-operative precautions and lifestyle adjustments to support healing and reduce complications.
