Lymphatic flow is mostly preserved after sentinel lymph node biopsy in primary cutaneous malignant melanoma

Highlights • We studied lymphatic flow changes after sentinel lymph node biopsies in melanoma. • A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) had only a minimal effect on lymphatic flow. • The present results may support the efficacy of post-SLNB local adjuvant injection.
