The Authors, after pointing out the incidence of complications subsequent to lymphoadenectomy performed with the traditional means (lymphorrhea, dehiscence of the pound, etc.), report their experience concerning the removal of inguinal or aqillary lymphnodes of patients suffering from cutaneous malignant melanoma (N+), performed pith laser lancet. After a short description of the peculiar features of the Laser Surgical Unit they used, the Authors emphasize that, thanks to the peculiar power for the laser lancet to close the lymphatic vessels during the lancing itself, surgeons can prevent the postoperative lymphorrhea, which is the main cause of dehiscence of such surgical wounds.
作者指出传统方法进行淋巴结切除术后并发症的发生率（淋巴漏、创口裂开等）后，报告了他们使用激光手术刀切除皮肤恶性黑色素瘤患者（N+）腹股沟或腋窝淋巴结的经验。在简短描述了他们所使用的激光手术设备的独特特征后，作者强调，由于激光手术刀在穿刺过程中具有封闭淋巴管的特殊能力，外科医生可以预防术后淋巴漏，而淋巴漏是此类手术创口裂开的主要原因。
