Feasibility and safety of the Lymphatic Superficial Iliac Artery Perforator (L-SCIP) flap following inguinal lymph node dissection in reducing postoperative complications in patients with cancer
The L-SCIP flap performed immediately after ILND is a feasible and safe method, potentially leading to shorter hospital stays and earlier drain removal. However, seroma and wound infection remained the most common complications, suggesting that although the L-SCIP flap may enhance healing, it does not fully mitigate these complications. Therefore, further research is needed to assess the long-term benefits.
