Sentinel lymph node detection (SLND) has not yet displaced lymphadenectomy, but it is a desired supplementary technique in cervical cancer surgery. The aim of our study was to identify the sources of SLND failure while performing the procedure by injecting blue dye (BD) into the cervix in cases of early-stage cervical cancer (ECC).
