Sentinel Dissection

Sentinel lymph node dissection is a specialized surgical procedure used in gynecologic oncology to accurately identify and remove the first lymph nodes that cancer cells are likely to spread to. This technique is commonly applied in cervical, vulval, and endometrial cancers, helping to determine cancer spread while minimizing unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
