Surgical biopsy or open biopsy of the lymph nodes, which means the complete removal of one or more lymph nodes, is one of the most important diagnostic measures in cases of suspected diseases, including malignancies such as breast cancer, skin malignancies such as melanoma, or blood diseases such as lymphoma.
Due to the proximity of the lymphatic structures to the main vessels and nerves of the body, this procedure is one of the diagnostic procedures that requires experience and skill in this field.
