Role of lymph nodes

The lymphatic system plays a central role in the immune defense of our body. It consists of fine vessels, similar to veins, that carry a clear fluid called lymph, which contains white blood cells essential for immunity. Along this network, lymph nodes act as filters: they trap abnormal cells, bacteria, and even cancerous cells.

In the case of cancer, malignant cells can escape from the primary tumor and circulate through the lymphatic system. These cells can then settle in nearby lymph nodes, becoming an entry point for cancer to spread to other parts of the body.

This phenomenon is often observed in cancers such as breast cancer, skin cancer (melanoma),and prostate cancer. If the lymph nodes become affected, the risk of spreading increases significantly.

What is lymph node curage?

Lymph node dissection (or lymphadenectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to remove suspicious or cancer-invaded lymph nodes. This operation is crucial not only to stop the spread of the disease but also to refine the diagnosis and tailor the treatment. It can also reduce the risk of recurrence by eliminating potential areas of residual cancer.

In Turkey, this procedure is performed in internationally renowned hospitals, with specialized surgical oncology teams.

Types of lymph node dissection

Lymph node dissection can involve different areas of the body, depending on the location of the cancer and the potential spread of tumor cells. There are five main types of lymphadenectomy, each targeting a specific region where lymph nodes are at risk.

How is a lymph node dissection performed in Turkey?

In Turkey, lymph node dissection is performed in modern hospitals and clinics equipped with the latest technologies and staffed by surgeons specialized in oncology. This procedure is typically carried out under general anesthesia in a perfectly sterile and secure environment.

Once the patient is anesthetized, the surgeon makes a targeted incision in the affected area. The lymph nodes involved, along with any surrounding tissues that may contain cancerous cells, are then carefully removed.

A surgical drain (a small flexible tube) is placed in the operated area to evacuate postoperative fluids. This helps reduce the risk of infection and speeds up the healing process. The drain is connected to a small external pouch that collects the fluids and usually remains in place for a few days to several weeks.

The incision is then closed using sutures or staples and covered with a sterile dressing.

Tissue analysis and post-operative follow-up

The removed lymph nodes are then sent to a laboratory to be analyzed by a pathologist. This step is essential to determine whether cancerous cells are present and to adjust the treatment plan if necessary.

Depending on the extent of the dissection, a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days may be required. During this time, antibiotics may be administered to prevent infection, and painkillers are prescribed to relieve discomfort.

Before discharge, the medical team will explain how to:

A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure to assess healing and the patient's overall condition.

Considering undergoing a lymph node dissection in Turkey? Benefit from comprehensive care, a specialized medical team, and treatments that meet the highest international standards.

Side effects of a lymph node dissection

Like any surgical procedure, lymph node dissection can lead to certain side effects. These complications vary from patient to patient and may appear immediately after the operation, in the following days or weeks, or even several months later.

Here are the most common side effects:

In Turkey, our partner medical teams work to minimize these side effects through personalized care, modern surgical techniques, and thorough post-operative monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Lymph node removal is performed when doctors need to diagnose or treat issues such as infections, cancer, or enlarged lymph nodes. It is often performed if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, and they may be removed to diagnose the cause of swelling or to treat severe infections. The doctor will decide what is necessary to do.

Several types of cancer may require lymph node dissection, depending on the tumor location and the risk of spread to the lymph nodes:

  • Breast cancer
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Melanoma
  • Lung cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Bladder cancer

Lymphadenectomy offers several advantages in cancer treatment. These include:

  • Accurate assessment of the extent and spread of the disease
  • Reduced risk of cancer recurrence
  • Improved overall survival for affected patients
  • Guiding adjuvant treatment (radiotherapy or chemotherapy)

Lymph node dissection can cause pain and discomfort, especially after surgery. However, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. It is very normal to experience swelling or tightness in the area afterward, but doctors prescribe pain medication to help manage the discomfort.

The oncologist, the hematologist, and also the surgeon can treat lymph nodes and perform their dissection in the case of tumors.
