Brief Summary: This study investigates the use of a negative pressure wound therapy device (PICO™, Smith \& Nephew Healthcare, UK) on clean, closed surgical wounds, in patients who are undergoing inguinal lymphadenectomy for metastatic carcinoma of cutaneous origin.
Detailed Description: Patients may develop inguinal lymph node metastases from a variety of cutaneous neoplasms. A number of factors conspire to cause a high rate of wound breakdown and other complications in this patient group. Reported rates of wound healing complications vary in the literature, but tend to affect \> 40% of patients.

A new negative pressure wound therapy device is recommended for use in clean, closed surgical wounds (PICO™ system, Smith \& Nephew Healthcare, UK). Patients will be randomised to receive either PICO™ system for up to seven days, or conventional dressings, and then assessed for wound healing and other outcome measures.
