There were 46 women and 57 men with a mean age of 55.7 years (range, 19\u201391).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean Breslow thickness was 2.3\u2009mm (range, 0.12\u201310\u2009mm). Primary locations were head and neck in 12, trunk 46, upper extremity 19, and lower extremity in 26. One hundred sixteen lymph node basins were mapped in 103 patients. Axillary, inguinal, and cervical nodal basins comprised 55, 34, and 11% of the total basins evaluated, respectively. Sixty\u2010eight patients (66%) underwent lymphatic mapping of one regional nodal basin, 27 patients (26%) underwent synchronous lymphatic mapping of 2 regional nodal basins, 6 patients (6%) underwent synchronous lymphatic mapping of 3 regional nodal basins, and 2 patients (2%) underwent synchronous lymphatic mapping of 4 regional nodal basins. Seroma or infection did not occur in any patients. Micrometastatic disease was identified in 15 sentinel lymph node biopsy sites in 13 (10%) patients. Of 10 patients undergoing lymph node dissection, 9(90%) had no additional pathological lymph node involvement. We achieved 99% success rate, 1% rate of failed sentinel node procedure, and 8% false\u2010negative rate after median follow\u2010up for 2 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We concluded that \u03b3 probe\u2010directed sentinel lymph node biopsy is a straightforward procedure which can be done in the outpatient setting and facilitates management of patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma. It allows the surgeon to identify all basins at risk for metastatic disease and the location of the sentinel node(s) in relation to the basin. J. Surg.
