Comparison of identification of sentinel lymph nodes between ICG vs methylene blue in v notes staging surgery for endometrial cancer
In the context of sentinel lymph node biopsy for staging surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer, indocyanine green has demonstrated a superior sentinel lymph node identification rate and a higher yield of sentinel lymph nodes compared to methylene blue. Given the advantage of real-time imaging, indocyanine green has emerged as a promising agent for sentinel lymph node biopsy in minimally invasive approaches, such as vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery.
