Minimizing Lymphatic Morbidity: Incidence of Lower Extremity Lymphedema After vNOTES-Assisted Sentinel Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer

: vNOTES hysterectomy combined with retroperitoneal SLN mapping was associated with a low incidence of postoperative lower extremity lymphedema in this single-arm cohort. These findings suggest that vNOTES-assisted SLN mapping may represent a feasible minimally invasive approach for nodal assessment in selected patients with endometrial cancer. Prospective comparative studies are required to confirm these findings and to evaluate long-term oncologic and lymphatic outcomes.

Abstract

: vNOTES hysterectomy combined with retroperitoneal SLN mapping was associated with a low incidence of postoperative lower extremity lymphedema in this single-arm cohort. These findings suggest that vNOTES-assisted SLN mapping may represent a feasible minimally invasive approach for nodal assessment in selected patients with endometrial cancer. Prospective comparative studies are required to confirm these findings and to evaluate long-term oncologic and lymphatic outcomes.
