Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Endometrial Cancer with Multi-Modal Infrared Signal Technology: A Video Article.

ABSTRACT: This video article summarizes a case study involving the use of pelvic sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for endometrial cancer (EC) staging and treatment utilizing a multi-modal infrared signal technology. This innovative approach combines cervical injection of fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared imaging to enhance SLN detection rates in early-stage EC patients. The study showcases the successful application of advanced technology in improving surgical staging procedures and reducing postoperative morbidity for patients. Multi-modal infrared signal technology consists of different modes of fluorescence imaging used to identify lymph nodes based on near-infrared signals. Each mode serves a specific purpose: overlay image combines white light and near-infrared signals i
