Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has been proposed as a safe and less morbid approach to full lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer (EC) [1,2]. The role of single incision robotic surgery (SIRS) remains unclear in this setting [3,4]. The aim of this video is to demonstrate the feasibility of SLN biopsy utilizing the SIRS platform and near infrared imaging in EC.
