Sentinel lymph node mapping (SLNM) is a novel and newly developing minimally invasive surgical option for surgical staging of endometrial cancer built for avoidance of unnecessary total lymphadenectomy and its possible complications. Indocyanin green is considered as one of the most effective methods used for sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer. In here, we are proud to report the first experience of sentinel lymph node mapping with indocyanin green in endometrium cancer, among all Turkish university hospitals.
