Abstract

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, the most promising method appears to be the imunofluorescent 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 ICG technique has several advantages, and at the same time, we can use this method in non-oncological indications in gynecological surgery.
