Abstract
Ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy is associated with lymphorrhoea and skin necrosis. Lymphorrhoea may last for several days, and standard sterile dressing at home may not be feasible. A 36-year-old gentleman underwent bilateral ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy for urethral carcinoma and developed postop skin necrosis with excessive lymphorrhoea. After the wound was devoid of necrotic material, he was started on dressing with sanitary pads for absorbing the lymph and provide cover. He was managed at home with similar dressings, and wound healed well in 6 weeks. The sanitary pads provide cost-effective, easily available, absorbent, easy to use dressings for managing wounds with copious discharge.
