Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sentinel lymph node detection rate (defined as the in vivo detection of at least one sentinel lymph node in each patient). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The duration of the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), defined as the time between the in vivo introduction of the SENSEI® gamma probe and the removal of the SENSEI® gamma probe after checking the surgical site for residual radioactivity (the last step of the SLNB). Track of time is temporarily stopped when the rigid gamma probe is used for validation; - The number of sentinel lymph nodes detected with the SENSEI® system in comparison with the pre-operative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)-CT and the conventional rigid probe; - The intraoperative adverse events of the SENSEI® system in comparison to the conventional rigid laparoscopic gamma probe; - The ease of use of the SENSEI® laparoscopic tethered gamma probe system; this will be validated with a questionnaire filled in by the surgeons postoperatively. This questionnaire is based on the questionnaire constructed by LightPoint Medical Ltd which used in other clinical trials on the SENSEI® laparoscopic tethered gamma probe system (mainly prostate cancer). | — |
