Intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel node (SLN) biopsy have generated a tremendous amount of interest and are already established as part of the standard practice in the surgical management of breast cancer and melanoma. To reduce extensive radical procedures and decrease the morbidity in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies, much effort is being made to use less aggressive interventions. The purpose of our study was to determine the feasibility of SLN mapping in a group of patients with endometrial cancer at early stages. METHOD AND STUDY DESIGN: Between September 2000 and May 2001 11 patients with endometrial cancer FIGO stage Ib (n = 10) and IIa (n = 1) underwent laparoscopic SNL detection during laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and bilateral systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy. Radioactive isotope injection was performed 24 hours before surgery and blue dye injection was performed just before surgery in the cervix at 3,6, 9 and 12 hours. A 350 mm laparoscopic gamma scintyprobe MR 100 type 11, 99mTc settled (Pol Hi Tech), was used intraoperatively for SLN detection.
