2022-VA-1045-ESGO Table 1 Patient charecteristics Conclusion The current evidence for SLN mapping versus LND was reviewed. ( 4, 5, 6, 7 ). Regardless of the surgical approach, SLN reduces blood loss during surgery. Further studies on operative time and complications are needed for further analysis. SLN mapping is more targeted for fewer lymph node dissections and more positive lymph node detection, even in high-risk patients. The utility of SLN does not imply adverse survival in EC patients.
