Robot assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy using indocyanine green combined with carbon nanoparticles staining improved detection rates in breast cancer by Qinbo Wang, Qingyu Yang, Zuxiao Chen, Zongyan Li, Xiaoyan Fu, Yunxiang Luo, Yonghai Guo, Haiyan Li

“…Notably, CNSI staining was negative in two cases within the ICG + CNSI group, while one patient exhibited a false-negative staining pattern. Five instances of effusion and one case involving bleeding were reported; no significant differences emerged concerning postoperative complications, including breast drainage or hospital stay length, significant differences arose within numerical pain rating scale scores when comparing robot-assisted SLN biopsy positive versus negative groups (p = 0.021 < 0.05). …”
