Surgical Management of Melanoma

This video discusses the surgical management of malignant melanoma. We go over an appropriate workup for a patient with melanoma, the ins and out of TNM staging, especially the all-important Breslow depth that determines surgical planning, some details about the actual operations performed for melanoma (wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy), and touch on the basics of neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy.

Apologies for not continuing through your presentation and seeing that you addressed the error, but frankly seeing it stopped me cold and inspired me to comment right away…

Thank you very much for this comprehensive video. The teacher at plastic surgery department gave me assignment about this topic. I couldn't compile the all information on internet to pour down in Turkish. But I can't describe how happy I am, you just gave all the information about the topic in a comprehensible way. thanks again

Perhaps you have already amended your slide and your narrative, but you indicate that the T1 A/B stages involve melanomas of < 8 mm in depth, when of course it should have been < 0.8 mm in depth

You are absolutely right- I noticed that after uploading and didn't have the heart to go back and either re-shoot or edit the whole thing. Thankfully I only did it at the one point in the video, and now people can check your comment to avoid confusion! Thanks again- Chris
