Intraoperative, radio‐guided sentinel lymph node mapping in laparoscopic lymph node dissection for Stage I testicular carcinoma

Abstract

Radio-guided mapping of SLNs with laparoscopy was feasible, and nearly all SLNs were detected accurately by the procedure. In the near future, the standard retroperitoneal lymph node dissection may be avoided in most patients with clinical Stage I testicular carcinoma by utilizing focused examination of SLNs.
