Abstract | Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a standard procedure in evaluating the status of node negative axilla. Numerous techniques have been described in literature. We hereby describe a new technique of intradermal injection of blue dye called the lymphatic flare technique. Methods: The study was conducted in two phases over a year from August 2020 to May 2021with an internal audit to validate and standardize the technique in January 2021. Results: Between August 2020 and December 2020, 32 patients were evaluated for validation of this technique by two senior surgeons, which yielded a SLN identification rate of 93.75% (30 out of 32). After validating, standardizing, and educating the entire surgical team of the technique, another consecutive 27 patients were evaluated. The SLN identification rate increased to 100% (27 out of 27). Overall, SLN positivity for cancer was 16.6% (10 out of 60). Conclusion: SLN identification by the lymphatic flare technique is feasible, accurate, and reproducible. |
