Image-guided Navigation During Robotic Sentinel Node Removal

NCT06091072 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 55

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Image-guided navigation based on pre-operative imaging can give the surgeon more insight into the location of the sentinel nodes in relation to other anatomical structures. The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of image-guided navigation during robot-assisted surgery to treat cancer in the pelvic area.Ultimately, the application of navigation during robot-assisted sentinel node dissection could potentially improve the outcome of surgery for the patient.

Image-guided navigation

A patient-specific 3D model will be created using an available pre-operative SPECT/CT scan. Pre-operatively, three electromagnetic patient trackers will be attached to the patients' skin, close to the pelvis, allowing tracking the patient's position during surgery. After anesthesia and before the skin disinfection procedure, the patient is placed in the final surgical position, where an intra-operative CBCT scan is performed required for the image-guided surgery workflow. During surgery, the preoperative images and 3D model will be visible for the surgeon together with a blunt-tip electromagnetic pointer enabling surgical navigation during robotic surgery. Anatomical structures will be used to validate the accuracy of the navigation. When the target is identified by the surgeon, the pointer is used to store the location digitally. Scheduled standard clinical 99mTc will be used as validation for target(s) identification.
