- Robotic Inguinal Node Dissection
Robotic-Assisted Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection (RA-VEILND) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove lymph nodes from the groin (inguinal) region in patients with penile cancer. It is performed using the da Vinci robotic system, which allows for high-definition 3D visualization and greater precision compared to conventional open or laparoscopic surgery. This approach significantly reduces the complications traditionally associated with open inguinal lymph node dissection.
Who Needs RA-VEILND?
This procedure is recommended for patients diagnosed with penile cancer who require lymph node removal due to:
Clinically enlarged or suspicious inguinal lymph nodes
High-risk penile tumors with potential lymphatic spread
Recurrent disease in the groin
Need for staging or therapeutic dissection
A detailed assessment by a skilled robotic uro-oncologist like Dr. Sachin Arakere Nataraj will help determine if RA-VEILND is appropriate for your condition.
Benefits of RA-VEILND (Pros)
✅ Minimally Invasive: Small incisions with reduced pain, swelling, and faster healing
✅ Enhanced Precision: Robotic arms allow fine dissection around delicate vessels and tissues
✅ Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced chances of wound infections and lymphocele formation
✅ Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily life
✅ Better Aesthetics: Less visible scarring and improved cosmetic results
Potential Risks & Considerations (Cons)
❌ Limited Availability: Requires a well-equipped robotic surgical setup
❌ Higher Cost: May be more expensive than conventional methods
❌ Technically Demanding: Needs experienced surgeons for best results
❌ Not for All Cases: Very advanced disease may still require open surgery
