Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Julian Filippi discusses various technical aspects of endometrial cancer surgery. He emphasizes the importance of minimizing the use of uterine manipulators and discusses the role of peritoneal cytology and intraoperative freezing biopsies. <br /><br />Dr. Filippi focuses on the surgical technique of sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer. He highlights the importance of careful inspection of the abdomen and pelvis and explains the technique for injecting the dye. He emphasizes meticulous dissection to avoid damaging lymphatic channels and recommends using a sample bag or glove to extract the sentinel lymph nodes to prevent dissemination. <br /><br />He then discusses the standardized use of sentinel lymph node mapping and its benefits, such as less invasive surgery and improved staging. He stresses the importance of ongoing training and collaboration with pathologists for accurate assessment of sentinel lymph nodes. <br /><br />Dr. Filippi concludes by summarizing the key points discussed and offering recommendations for the use of sentinel lymph node mapping and overall surgical strategy in endometrial cancer. He emphasizes the importance of standardizing techniques and collaborating to achieve the best outcomes for patients.<br /><br />Credits: This summary is based on the video presentation by Dr. Julian Filippi.
