Vulvar cancer represents 2% to 5% of all gynecological cancers worldwide, of which the most common is squamous cell carcinoma followed by melanoma. Surgery is the cornerstone in the treatment of vulvar neoplasia, and evaluation of lymph node status is a powerful predictor of survival. Inguino-femoral lymphadenectomy is part of the treatment strategies. The minimally invasive surgical approach by video endoscopy (VEIL) is an alternative to the open approach that reduces postoperative morbidity such as dehiscence of the surgical wound, lymphocele, lymphedema, infection, and psychosexual deterioration. The following describes the surgical technique of VEIL, as a novel approach in Colombia for the management
of this cancer.
