ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In order to explore the surgical safety and the reliability of axillary staging of single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy, we combined it with indocyanine green that was excited by near-infrared fluorescence endoscopy and carbon nanoparticles as a tracer and compared this method to conventional open sentinel lymph node biopsy.METHODS:
This is a retrospective and observational study, there were 20 patients in each group and the total sample size was 60 Group 1, single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy combined with indocyanine green and carbon nanoparticles; Group 2, single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy with carbon nanoparticles only; Group 3, conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy with indocyanine green and carbon nanoparticles. Sentinel lymph node detection and upper extremity function were determined to measure the safety and efficacy of the novel single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy (SPE-SLNB) technique to the standard conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy technique.RESULTS:
The detection rate of sentinel lymph nodes was 100% in Group 1, 100% in Group 2, and 95% in Group 3. There were no significant differences in upper arm function and pain scores between the three groups.CONCLUSION:
The novel technique of combining indocyanine green and carbon nanoparticles with single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy achieved a similar detection rate and mean number of sentinel lymph nodes as conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy. Traditional open surgery requires two different incisions for breast surgery and SLNB. While the most important advantage of SPE-SLNB is that two procedures can be effectively performed through a single-port in the axilla Therefore, for patients who meet the indications, single-port endoscopic-sentinel lymph node biopsy is as safe and reliable as conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy but has the aesthetic advantage of only one incision.Palabras clave
