Excerpt

In 2011 Vern Sondak and Amod Sarnaik penned an editorial accompanying the first report of minimally invasive inguinal lymphadenectomy aptly referencing Scylla and Charybdis of Greek mythology. We revisit that initial editorial with a commentary on this issue’s call to arms by Faut and colleagues.
