A member asked:

Are there procedures where lymph nodes are completely removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only in one spot: The are several types of cancer that call for complete removal of a group of nodes, called a dissection. There are lymph nodes all over the body so that there is no reasonable procedure that could remove them all.
