However, the universal adoption of SLN technique is questioned and the aim of this study was to assess SLN mapping efficiency for staging early endometrioid endometrial cancer.Methodology A retrospective observational study was performed between October 2020 and March 2022. Inclusion criteria for SLN-ICG mapping were the following: endometrioid endometrial cancer FIGO stage IA Grade 1–2 and stage IB Grade 1. Patients with body mass index (BMI) over 40 and/or patients with cervical pathologies were excluded. For the SLN-ICG mapping, 2 ml of indocyanine green (ICG) solution were injected at 3rd and 2 ml at 9th o’clock of the cervix. In case of mono-bilateral sentinel node detection failure, pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND) was performed. Pathologic ultrastaging with immunochemistry was used.Results Thirty-two (32) consecutive patients were included. The mean age was 59.72 ± 8.99 years and the mean BMI was 29.05 ±4.33 kg/m2. The mean operative time was 154.8 ± 27.79 minutes. Fifteen (n=15, 46.9%) out of the 32 patients underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy(LAP TLH/BSO) and SLN-ICG mapping. The mean operative time was 140.6 ± 21.12 minutes. Of the remaining 17 patients, 9 (28.1%) were subjected to LAP TLH/BSO/SLN-ICG and PLND and 8 patients (25%) underwent LAP TLH/PLND without SLN mapping. The mean operative time was 173.8 ± 23.86 minutes and 145.0 ± 30.00 minutes, respectively. The overall and bilateral SLN detection rates were 96% (23/24) and 75% (18/24), respectively. Micrometastases were found only in 1/24 (4%) of SLN patients.Conclusion The SLN-ICG endometrial mapping presents high diagnostic accuracy for lymph node staging in endometrial cancer, thus reducing operative time and post-operative complications and allowing ultrastaging pathologic assessment and increasing identification of micrometastases.
