Whats an open inguinal lymph node biopsy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Surgery: This is where a small surgical incision is made and the lymph node is dissected out and removed or at least a portion of the lymph node is cut out and sent for testing and cultures. This is not as commonly done with inguinal nodes as it is for nodes in other areas.
