Abstract
- This video article summarizes a case study involving the use of pelvic sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for endometrial cancer (EC) staging and treatment utilizing a multi-modal infrared signal technology. This innovative approach combines cervical injection of fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared imaging to enhance SLN detection rates in early-stage EC patients. The study showcases the successful application of advanced technology in improving surgical staging procedures and reducing postoperative morbidity for patients. Multi-modal infrared signal technology consists of different modes of fluorescence imaging used to identify lymph nodes based on near-infrared signals. Each mode serves a specific purpose: overlay image combines white light and near-infrared signals in green, monochromatic visualization shows near-infrared signal in greyscale, and intensity map combines signals in a color scale to differentiate signal intensity. Yellow denotes strong near-infrared signals while blue represents weaker signals. By utilizing a multi-modal approach, surgeons can accurately identify and remove SLN, thus avoiding unnecessary removal of secondary or tertiary echelons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
