Experts from various specialties created a standardized system for reporting complications in inguinal lymph node dissection. Using a modified Delphi consensus approach, 47 consultants achieved unanimous agreement on defining and categorizing intraoperative and postoperative complications. The new system classifies postoperative issues into five macrocategories and standardizes reporting for melanoma, penile, and vulval cancer treatments. This system aims to address the challenges in current complication reporting due to lack of standardization.
• Why it matters: Standardizing complication reporting improves consistency in inguinal lymph node dissection.
