Image-Guided Robotic Surgery for Sentinel Lymph Node Status Assessment in Uterine Cancers Using Ultrasound Drop-in Probe: Surgical Technique in 10 Steps
Although its accuracy compared with histology as the gold standard is yet to be demonstrated, image-guided robotic lymph node ultrasound is a feasible and promising procedure for real-time SLN assessment. A prospective study is ongoing (R-LYNUS, NCT06621823) to clinically validate this technique.
