<scp>PelviSound</scp> L—Real‐time intraoperative sonographic assessment of pelvic sentinel lymph nodes using a drop‐in probe in endometrial and cervical cancer during minimally invasive surgery: A single‐center pilot feasibility study in 20 patients
The study confirms that intraoperative sonographic evaluation of SLNs in minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgeries is feasible, safe, and highly accurate. This technique may serve as a valuable adjunct to current SLNB protocols and lead to a potential reduction in the need for extensive lymphadenectomy while concurrently maintaining diagnostic reliability. Further research using larger cohorts is warranted to validate these findings and assess broader clinical applicability.
