Abstract

Objective: To describe the experience and usefulness of lymphatic mapping and laparoscopic sentinel node biopsy in early stage cervical cancer.
Design: Retrospective study
Patients: Patients diagnosed with cervical cancer at the early stage (FIGO Ib1) were included.
Interventions: Radiocolloid tracer and patent blue dye to identify sentinel lymph nodes were used.
Results: In 11 months, 8 patients were included. Using laparoscopy, we detected and biopsied lymph nodes less than 1 cm. The sentinel node detection rate was 87.5%, and negative predictive value was 100%.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic biopsy of sentinel lymph nodes in early stage cervical cancer is a safe procedure and lymph node metastasis during surgery could be accurately predicted.
