Transperitoneal vs extraperitoneal approach for aortic sentinel node detection in endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the sentinel lymph node technique in endometrial cancer is currently replacing pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy for the evaluation of lymph node status in endometrial cancer, its performance is not yet standardized.

Objective

This study aimed to describe the detection rates and locations of aortic sentinel lymph node detection after dual cervical and fundal indocyanine green injection in patients with endometrial cancer, using the transperitoneal and extraperitoneal approaches.

Study design

Between June 26, 2014 and December 31, 2019, 278 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer at our institution. In all cases, we performed sentinel lymph node biopsy with dual cervical and fundal indocyanine green injection, and back-up lymp
