This review provides a brief history of groin dissection, including studies on anatomical considerations and technique. A groin dissection for complete ablation of the node‐bearing areolar tissue in the inguinal and iliac regions and with negligible morbidity requires careful attention to the pathophysiology of cancer in lymphatics, pre‐ and postoperative care, and surgical technique, including coordinated use and general, plastic, vascular, and orthopedic surgical principles.
