Mini-laparoscopic Sentinel Node Detection in Endometrial Cancer: Further Reducing Invasiveness for Patients with Early-Stage Disease

Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy have been proposed as a safer and less morbid approach than full lymphadenectomy for patients with early endometrial cancer (EC), through either cervical or corporeal dye injection.1 (-) 4 The advantage of mini-laparoscopy is a further reduction in the overall surgical trauma for the patient. This video aims to show the feasibility of SLN biopsy using a 3-mm mini-laparoscopic approach.
