PelviSound L—Real‐time intraoperative sonographic assessment of pelvic sentinel lymph nodes using a drop‐in probe in endometrial and cervical cancer during minimally invasive surgery: A single‐center pilot feasibility study in 20 patients

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is considered an essential step in the surgical management of endometrial and cervical cancers as it has led to a reduction in the need for full pelvic lymphadenectomy. This proof‐of‐concept study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of intraoperative sonographic assessment of
