- Abstract
- A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with a left-sided lone internal mammary swollen lymph node on a routine follow-up computer tomography, 42 months after a left mastectomy in the context of a ductal carcinoma grade III. The suspected metastasis was successfully removed in toto using a 3-port-da Vinci robotic procedure and the patient was discharged home without any complication on the third postoperative day. Robotically assisted oncological lymph node removal is safe, easily performed and economically affordable.
