Overview

 In oncological surgery the importance of the sentinel node concept is increasing, as we are capable of reducing the surgical burden of patients and its associated morbidity and preserving adequate oncological safety at the same time. Recently, there has been development of lymph node mapping techniques, where the most promising method appears to be the immunofluorescent one using indocyanine green dye. This technique provides high sensitivity in sentinel node detection in comparison with other existing methods using a dye in combination with a radionuclide. The indocyanine green technique has several advantages, and at the same time, we can use this method in non-oncological indications in gynecological surgery.

Keywords:

indocyanine green – oncogynecology – sentinel lymphatic node
