Sentinel Node Biopsy by Using Blue-Dye TechniqueSalih Tosun, Fatih Büyüker, Alp Özçelik, Haydar Yalman, Durmuş A. Eren, Hakan BaysalGoztepe SSK Hospital, 3. General Surgery, IstanbulThe sentinel node is defined as the first lymph node to receive drainage from a tumor. It can be identified by injecting lymphazurin blue dye, a radiaoctive colloid or lymphoschintigraphy. When blue dye is used, the sentinel node is found by visual identification of a blue-stained lymphatic channel leading to a blue node. Studies have shown that with experience a sentinel node can be identified in more than 90 % of patients and that the status of the remaining axillary nodes in over 95 % of cases. Using this technique, axillary node dissection can be limited to those patients who have tumor in the sentinel node who will benefit from the procedure.In this study, we present our sensitivity and spesitivity for sentinel node dissection using blue dye technique alone.

Lymphazurin mavi boya injeksiyonu, radyoaktif kolloid kullanımı veya lenfosintigrafi ile saptanabilir. Mavi boya kullanımında, sentinel nod, maviye boyanmış bir lenf yolunun eşlik ettiği mavi bir nod şeklinde görülür.
