Robot-assisted fluorescent sentinel lymph node identification in early-stage colon cancer

Daan J. Sikkenk,

Abstract: Background Patients with cT1-2 colon cancer (CC) have a 10–20% risk of lymph node metastases. Sentinel lymph node identification (SLNi) could improve staging and reduce morbidity in future organ-preserving CC surgery. This pilot study aimed to assess safety and feasibility of robot-assisted fluorescence-guided SLNi using submucosally injected indocyanine green (ICG) in patients with cT1-2N0M0 CC. Methods Ten consecutive patients with cT1-2N0M0 CC were incl… Show more

“…BCS is a surgical procedure aimed at removing tumor lesions while preserving breast tissue. BCS aids in maintaining the patient’s physical and mental wellbeing, as well as promoting the appearance of their breast, when compared to radical mastectomy ( 23 - 25 ). However, BCS needs to ensure that the margin is negative to prevent recurrence ( 26 ).…”

“…Revolutionizing various surgical fields, ICG fluorescenceguided surgery enhances the visualization of anatomical structures, thus facilitating precise surgical navigation 3,9 . The utility of ICG in abdominal surgery is extensive, aiding in tasks such as evaluating perfusion, delineating extrahepatic bile duct anatomy, navigating lymph nodes, and assisting with liver surgery [7][8][9][10] . This technique is particularly valuable in colorectal surgery for intraoperative guidance, where it is applied in a range of procedures from assessing perfusion to identifying hepatic and peritoneal metastases [2][3][4][5] .…”
