14.1 Introduction
Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is a surgical staging tool rst described in the 1970s for penile cancer [1]. The technique has evolved through several iterations, with renement in lymphatic mapping imaging and lymphatic tracer technology.
A sentinel node is any node on a direct lymphatic drain­age pathway from the tumour. The basis for the procedure is that a radiotracer injected peritumourally will drain initially to the sentinel node(s); if these are found to be free of tumour, the remaining nodes in the region can also be considered disease-free. Differentiation between sentinel nodes and lower-echelon nodes can be decided by the timing of appear­ance on dynamic imaging as well as by gamma counts intraoperatively.
The radiotracer used varies internationally but generally consists of a colloid base that is labelled with Technetium­99m (Tc-99m). Tc-99m decays with gamma radiation at a half-life of 6h, making it ideal for detection with a handheld gamma probe up to 24h after injection, depending on the dose injected. The radiotracer is passively accumulated in the lymph node by virtue of the small colloid size, resulting in detectable radiation hot spots. Lymphoseek ( tilmanocept) is a new-generation radiotracer that is actively transported into lymph node macrophages via binding to CD206 mannose receptor [2].
Radiotracers can be complemented by optical tracers to aid in the intraoperative identication of sentinel nodes; these are especially helpful when nodes are located close to the tumour (shine-through effect) [35]. Traditional optical
99m
Tc-
tracers include blue dyes (patent blue, isosulfan blue, methy­lene blue), but these can stain the peritumoural injection site, hampering margin assessment, and there is a documented 1% risk of allergic reaction [6]. The use of Indocyanine green (ICG), a uorescent green dye, is gaining popularity as an optical tracer for sentinel node localisation. ICG can only be viewed with a near-infrared (NIR) camera, meaning the injection site is not discoloured when viewed under white light. The ICG uorescent signal can penetrate the overlying tissue to about 1cm depth, potentially reducing dissection and operating time [7]. Another advantage of ICG is that it can non-covalently bind to the colloid component of tradi­tional tracers (Nanocoll), resulting in a multimodal tracer that is both hot (Tc-99m) and uorescent [8].
SNB in the head and neck should always be comple­mented by preoperative imaging. Static and dynamic lym­phoscintigraphy (LSG) are useful techniques for differentiating sentinel and second-echelon nodes, but these planar images should be supplemented by SPECT/CT when available. SPECT/CT fusion images give excellent anatomi­cal localisation of nodes and are particularly useful for plac­ing nodes in relation to the digastric and omohyoid muscles and the internal jugular vein. Intraoperative imaging by handheld gamma cameras and freehand SPECT (fhSPECT) is possible, and such modalities have the advantage of updat­ing the node location during anatomical changes caused dur­ing surgery.

14.2.1 Patient Selection
SNB is a surgical staging procedure, not a denitive cancer treatment. Excised sentinel nodes are examined by serial sectioning, an intensive pathological procedure that can take up to a week to complete. If the SNB is positive, then staged
139

C. Schilling and R. Sawhney
completion nodal dissection is required, ideally within 3 weeks to minimise surgical complications. It is recom­mended that the patient’s overall medical status is considered when offering SNB instead of elective nodal clearance. Although SNB may be a less morbid procedure, patients with WHO performance status >2 or multiple comorbidities may be better offered elective nodal dissection owing to the risk of missing complete cancer treatment if they are unable to withstand two surgical procedures within a short period.
14.2.2 Tumour Selection
Tumours should be resectable with an oncological margin without the need for free ap reconstruction. SNB is suitable only for patients who have been clinically staged N0 by CT/ MRI and/or ultrasound scanning, ideally with ne needle aspiration cytology of any suspicious nodes. SNB works well for patients who have had previous tumours, radiother­apy, or surgery to the neck, although drainage may be mapped to unexpected locations.
14.2.3 Scheduling
SNB can be done by a 1- or 2-day protocol (imaging and surgery done on the same day or consecutive days), allowing exibility of theatre and nuclear medicine scheduling. Complications of completion lymphadenectomy increase in the time between biopsy and denitive surgery. It is ideal to pre-emptively schedule completion surgery within 3weeks of the biopsy; the surgical slot can be cancelled if the SNB yields a negative result.
14.2.4 Consent
Discussion should cover alternative strategies (watchful wait, elective nodal dissection). The SNB positive rate is 20–40%, so patients should be informed of the potential for further surgery. The complication rate for SNB is low (<5%). General complications include haematoma, wound infec­tion, nerve damage, and scar. Allergy to optical tracers is reported as 1:100–10,000. SNB may be safe, but it is not routinely offered for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The false-negative rate of SNB in oral cancer (neck recurrence after a negative result) is 5–14%, and the false omission rate (incorrect result) is about 7% [9].
14.2.5 Radiotracer Injection
Radiotracer will normally be injected in the nuclear medi­cine department. Injections can be given by either a nuclear medicine physician or a surgeon who has been adequately trained, but the legal certication required to deliver a radio­active substance may vary from country to country. Four submucosal or subdermal peritumoural injections (1–2mm from the tumour edge) are given, followed by immediate imaging. It is not advised to use local anaesthetic inltration prior to injection of the radiotracer because of alteration in local tissue pressure augmenting tracer drainage, but a regional nerve block (such as lingual nerve) remote from the tumour site can be used to good effect.
14.3 Indications
14.3.1 Standard Applications inHead
andNeck
Malignant melanoma. The use of the Breslow thickness is
the most important determinant of the need for SNB in
melanoma. Guidelines suggest the use of SNB in cases of
tumours with intermediate Breslow thickness
(1.01–4mm), because occult metastases to lymph nodes
have been found in 20–40% of this population. SNB may
also be benecial in thin lesions with high-risk features.
These include biopsies where ulceration is present and a
mitotic rate of greater than 1/mm2 in patients with a
Breslow depth greater than 0.75mm. Sentinel node dis-
section is not recommended for lesions with thickness
>4mm, because of the high risk of metastatic disease.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Numerous groups
have examined the use of SNB in patients with cutaneous
SCC, hoping to detect patients with early metastatic
spread. Unfortunately, there is little consensus about
which patients would benet from its use, and most
authors leave it up to surgeon discretion to decide whether
SNB would be benecial in particular cases.
Merkel cell cancer. The use of SNB has become wide-
spread in the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma. Sims
et al. [10] examined 150 patients treated at the Mayo
Clinic. They did not identify any characteristics identify-
ing which patients were more likely to have a positive
SNB, but they did nd that those patients with a positive
SNB who received additional treatment to the at-risk
nodal basin had similar disease-specic survival and

overall survival compared with patients with a negative SNB.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma. SNB has been recom­mended for early oral cancer in numerous national guide­lines. The SENT trial showed that elective nodal dissection could be avoided in over 70% of T1–T2 patients staged by SNB without affecting outcome (92% disease-free sur­vival at 3years) [11]. The study also showed that >10% of well-lateralised tumours drain to the contralateral neck, and that 7% of positive nodes were in the contralateral neck.
14.3.2 New Applications
Interest is developing in translating SNB to other malignan­cies in the head and neck. Feasibility studies and proof of concept have been published in cancer of the thyroid [12], salivary gland [13], oropharynx [14], and larynx [15]. The relative benet of mapping lymphatic drainage and nodal staging varies between tumour sites, but may well be sup­ported by intraoperative gamma imaging allowing on-table injection for difcult to access tumours.
SNB also may be useful in mapping the contralateral neck
in patients with large tumours approaching the midline, in which there is uncertainty about whether bilateral neck dis­section is required. SNB is also useful in second primary tumours in patients who have had previous radiotherapy and/ or surgery, in whom the normal drainage pattern has been disrupted [16].
14.4 Surgical Technique withTips
Preoperative identication of sentinel nodes. It is recom­mended for the preoperative nuclear medicine imaging to be reviewed jointly by the surgeon and nuclear medicine physician prior to surgery. The position of the nodes can be marked on the neck using a cobalt point source marker pen, but this is a time-consuming procedure that can be avoided by joint review of images. If an interspecialty meeting is not possible, a radiology report should be issued prior to surgery, stating the number and location of identied nodes, with indication of whether these are sen­tinel or second-echelon nodes.
Set-up in theatre. Required equipment includes a hand- held gamma probe. This should be regularly calibrated to ensure optimum performance. For the head and neck region, a collimated probe with a narrow beam is ideal. Contemporaneous recording of gamma counts should be

Fig. 14.1 Crosshatch technique to identify a sentinel node (red circle). The white line illustrates the path of the gamma probe tip
noted per node. It is preferable to have a dedicated white board ready in theatre with the required elds to facili­tate documentation without interruption to the surgical ow.
Mapping nodes and incision placement. With the patient positioned on the operating table, localisation of sentinel nodes is undertaken using the handheld gamma probe. A crosshatch technique (Fig. 14.1), moving the gamma probe at a steady pace across the region of interest, is rec­ommended to systematically search for sentinel nodes seen on preoperative imaging. Once radiation hotspots have been identied on the neck, the incisions can be planned. It is advised to place incisions in the optimum place to easily retrieve the sentinel node (Fig.14.2). There is no need to excise the scar if subsequent completion nodal dissection is required.
Optical tracer injection. Optical tracer is injected under general anaesthesia at four peritumoural sites as per the radiotracer (0.5–1mL per site is sufcient). Blue dye or free ICG both ow quickly to and through the sentinel nodes, so there should be no delay to prep the patient and proceed with the node retrieval. Gloves should be changed after injection to avoid inadvertent contamination of the surgical eld.

Node localisation for oral cancer. Sentinel nodes can often be located in high-frequency sites, depending upon the location of the primary tumour (Fig. 14.3). About 60% of midline tumours will drain bilaterally, and >10% of lateralized tumours will drain to the con­tralateral neck [11]. Level II sentinel nodes are invari­ably located between the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and the posterior belly of the digastric muscle. Level III sentinel nodes can frequently be found where the omohyoid muscle crosses the internal jugular vein (IJV). These nodes are usually situated supercial to the IJV, but they can also be located posterior to the vein, either superior or deep to the omohyoid muscle. Retrieval commences by subplatysmal dissection, with a T-shaped incision to locate the anterior border of the SCM (Fig.14.4). Retrieval of nodes deep to the SCM can be facilitated by splitting the SCM along the direc­tion of the bres.

Node removal. The sentinel node is removed with mini­mal handling, maintaining a small cuff of fat around the node (Fig.14.5).
• Ex-vivo conrmation of radioactivity. Each excised node should have an average gamma count taken over 5–10s. To be considered a sentinel node, the excised node should be 10 times greater than background radiation and at least 10% of the count of the hottest node. All nodes meeting these criteria should be sent for serial sectioning. The bed count should be checked on each occasion, to ensure that further hot nodes are not left behind. The count, colour (optical tracer), size, and location of each node should be submitted with the pathology request. Nodes not meeting the criteria should be sent for routine H&E examination.
Careful haemostasis. There should be a low threshold for insertion of a drain, avoiding haematoma formation and a lump in the neck that can complicate follow-up. Wounds should be closed in layers to aid completion surgery, if required.
Complete resection of primary tumour. The tumour should be removed with an oncologically clear margin.

14.5 Postoperative Care
Postoperative care is similar to the care for general lymph node biopsy. If a drain is inserted, inpatient care may be required. Otherwise, patients can be managed by day sur­gery. Discharge may be led by recovery from resection of the primary tumour, particularly in the case of oral cavity tumours, as oral intake may be temporarily impaired. Clinic review should be organised in 1week for results of the SNB.
A positive result (including isolated tumour cells [ITC]) mandates completion nodal dissection for most types of tumours. The treatment of melanoma is slightly more contro­versial. A recent high-impact study [17] suggested that immediate completion lymph-node dissection helped increase regional disease control and provided prognostic information. Unfortunately, it did not impact disease-specic survival, so that the benet of the procedure must be weighed against the associated surgical morbidity.

Transoral Removal ofSalivary Stones

Sialolithiasis, or salivary stones, vary in size, shape, consis­tency, and position within the ductal system of the major sali­vary glands (the submandibular and parotid salivary glands). The clinical presentation is generally that of obstructive sial­adenitis, in which a person may experience painful swelling of the affected gland when eating, or acute suppurative sial­adenitis as a result of the ductal obstruction [1]. Delayed treatment of suppurative sialadenitis may result in abscess formation in the gland orwithin the fascial neck spaces.
Initial conservative management by means of massage, hydration, heat application, sialagogues, and appropriate antibiotics for acute infection will assist in management in the acute setting [1]. Small calculi may pass spontaneously, but the vast majority of calculi will require surgical removal to relieve the obstruction of the ductal system and prevent further symptoms and sequelae. The surgical approach for removal of intra-canalicular stones depends on the expertise of the surgeon, access to specialised equipment, the gland affected, and the size and location of the stone. Gland­sparing surgery, including diagnostic and interventional sialendoscopy, open transoral sialolithotomy, or a combina­tion of the two, is preferred, with sialadenectomy reserved for a signicantly smaller portion of cases than previously [2].
15.1 Preoperative Checklist,
Considerations, andAnaesthesia
15.1.1 Clinical Examination
Clinical assessment of patients presenting with obstructive salivary gland pathology should include a comprehensive examination of the oral cavity, oropharynx, oor of the

mouth, and the head and neck. Examination of the papilla of the submandibular gland (Wharton’s) and the parotid gland (Stensen’s) ducts may reveal asmall calculuslocated at the ductal orice, inammation, stricture, or passage of either clear or purulent saliva on massagingof the gland. Palpation of the Wharton’s duct, in the oor of the mouth, and Stensen’s duct, intraorally in the buccal region for the anterior third, and externally over the masseter muscle for the middle third of the duct, is essential to assess for palpable stones. Evidence of acute infection and/or abscess formation should also be assessed.
As always, a detailed medical history and a list of the patient’s medications are required in preparation for surgery to avoid unwanted complications. A history and symptoms of autoimmune and Sjögren’s disease are also important to elicit.
15.1.2 Imaging
Preoperative imaging is essential to diagnose obstructive sialadenitis from stones, as well as toplan surgical removal. The initial imaging modality of choice is high-denition ultrasound (US) [3], where evidence of obstruction may be seen as a dilated salivary duct, and the size and location of the calculus may be assessed (Figs.15.1, 15.2, and 15.3). In most cases, US may be sufcient, although its accuracy isoperator dependent. CT images (Figs. 15.4 and 15.5) or cone-beam CT (CBCT) may be required if US is inade­quateor does not accurately delineate the size and location of the stone and obstruction, as well asforcomplications of sialolithiasis [3].
Plain X-rays may be of help, although a signicant pro­portion of stones are radiolucent. Sialography may assist in imaging the morphology of the ductal system and may show a lling defect with an intra-canalicular stone, but is not the rst-line choice of imaging [1].
