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.
