Abstract

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the current standard of care for mapping and staging the clinically node-negative axilla. There is no standardized technique as to material that is injected, injection site, timing of injection, or removal of the lymph node itself. This chapter discusses the anatomy of the axilla and the lymphatic system and the lower but continued prevalence of lymphedema of the arm after sentinel lymph node removal alone. Newer techniques of localization, removal and understanding of the drainage of the arm lymphatics within the axilla will continue to reduce lymphedema rates not only after SLNB but axillary lymph node dissection (ALND).
