Fluorescence-guided mapping of sentinel lymph nodes in gynecological malignancies

We have successfully applied a custom-made handheld fluorescence camera for intraoperative fluorescence detection of indocyanine green in a feasibility study on sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with vulvar, cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancer.
