Correlation of Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Node With Superficial Vein
Sponsor: Istanbul University
Summary
Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) biopsy is an important integral part of endometrial surgery. Although SLN is usually found on internal iliac artery, location is variable. Lymphatic pathways in pelvis determines the location (Obturator, internal iliac or external iliac vessel locations). Since it is accepted that the lymphatic channel formation during embryologic life follows venous system formation investigators hypothesized that the presence or absence of superior or deep uterine vein may determine the location of sentinel lymph node

Interventions
Retroperitoneal pelvic lymphatic and uterine vessel dissection
ICG injection to cervix uteri at 3 and 9 o'clock followed by laparoscopic dissection of retroperitoneal space to detect uterine vessels (uterine arteries, SUVs and DUVs) bilaterally in addition to detect the location and biopsy of SLN stained by ICG.
