Consensus-based statement
Sentinel lymphadenectomy alone should be used:
  • For preoperative imaging (patent blue and radioactive)

  • Or intraoperative imaging (indocyanine green)

  • When sentinel lymph nodes are imaged or detected bilaterally

  • In primary tumors in stage T IA 1 L1 and/or FIGO IA 2

  • In primary tumors in stage T IB1 (≤ 2 cm)

  • Removal of all imaged or detected sentinel lymph nodes

Evidence-based statement
If the sentinel lymphadenectomy method alone is being carried out, the following staining methods must be used:
  • Staining demonstration or detection using patent blue and radioactive tracer

or
  • Staining demonstration or detection using indocyanine green

  • Primary tumor < 2 cm in size, with no risk factors

  • Removal of all sentinel lymph nodes identified using imaging
