Axillary Lymph Node Dissection involves the removal
of the majority of lymph nodes from under the arm (axilla).
This is often performed for tumors of the breast or
melanoma. Surgery is performed on the same side of the
body as the original tumor. This procedure requires
an overnight stay in the hospital.
