Abstract：Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical advantages of single-incision inguinal lymph node dissection(SISL)for vulval cancer using self-made vaginal instruments combined with laparoscopy.Methods The clinical data of 20 patients with vulvar cancer who received SISL from March 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the relevant indexes during and around operation were observed.Results The average dissection time of each side of the inguinal lymph node was(56.4±8.1)min,the average number of lymph nodes on each side was(9±1.3),the average amount of intraoperative blood loss was(47.9±6.7)mL,the postoperative wound healing rate was 95%.Conclusion Single-incision inguinal lymph node dissection using our self-made vaginal instrument combined with laparoscopy is a convenient,safe and minimally invasive method for vulvar cancer.
