The safety and applicability of two methods were assessed by examining the results of our patients in the identification of the sentinel lymph node during endometrial cancer surgery.

We conducted the dissection of sentinel lymph nodes utilizing a near-infrared technology camera method with indocyanine green (ICG) in both robotic and vNOTES techniques.
