Indocyanine Green Inguinal Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping For Management Of Vulvar Cancers- Practical Tips And Tricks

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Marilyn Boo, a Gynae Oncology Fellow, discusses using indocyanine green (ICG) for inguinal sentinel lymph node mapping in early vulva cancer management. Traditionally, technetium 99M and blue dye are used, but studies show ICG combined with technetium offers comparable or better detection rates. The video details a 10-step surgical procedure illustrated by two patient cases, emphasizing techniques like preoperative ultrasound, precise ICG injection, incision placement, and use of a spy camera for lymph node identification. ICG provides improved localization, especially beneficial in obese patients, but requires further research before routine adoption.
