Prospective and Randomized Study to Evaluate Interest of Ultracision Use in Inguinal Lymph Nodes Curage

September 11, 2014 updated by: Institut Claudius Regaud

Prospective and Randomized Study to Evaluate Interest of Ultracision Use in Inguinal Lymph Nodes Curage.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the decrease of post-operative morbidity in inguinal lymphadenectomies realised for vulvar tumors and inferior limb skin tumors by use of Ultracision with regard to classical operative techniques.
