Groin dissection was performed in 67 patients, of whom 40 had superficial groin dissection and 27 had ilioinguinal dissection. The incidence of overall lymphedema of a mild to moderate degree was 21 percent. Lymphedema was observed more frequently (26 percent) in patients with primary lesions in the leg when compared with those with lower trunk lesions (6 percent, p less than 0.001), and in those who did not follow a prophylactic regime of leg elevation and use of a fitted elastic stocking (45.8 percent) when compared with those who adhered to the regime (7 percent, p less than 0.004). Sex, age, wound problems, histologic status of lymph nodes, and the duration of follow-up did not significantly affect the occurrence of lymphedema.
