Both NPV and sensitivity were 100%. Bilateral SLN was detected in 52% (13\/25) of cases. The right and left sides were visualized in 84% (21\/25) and 68% (17\/25) cases, respectively. Complete pelvic lymph node dissection was done when SLN mapping failed. The most common SLN locations were the right and left external iliac regions. SLN detection in the para-aortic area was observed in 20% (5\/25) cases. Twenty-five patients had positive SLN mapping. Two patients (8%) had positive lymph node metastasis: one underwent bilateral pelvic sentinel lymphadenectomy plus para-aortic sentinel lymphadenectomy with the final histologic type of Grade 2 endometrioid carcinoma (Stage IIIC1), and the other underwent bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy with the final histologic type of serous carcinoma (Stage IIIC1). Sixteen patients had high-grade stage IA or above; five received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, five received postoperative radiotherapy, four received chemotherapy with radiotherapy, and two were followed up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The NPV and sensitivity of ICG application in our study were high.
