Intraoperative Gamma Probe

One of the important reflections of advancing technology is that by monitoring the lymphatic flow of cancer tissue, it helps to detect millimetric, sometimes cell-based metastases, which are not possible to detect by examination and imaging in some tumors; Following the radioactive labeling of the first lymph node (sentinel/sentinel lymph node) from which the tumor drains, it is found and removed with a gamma probe during surgery. The intraoperative gamma probe is also used following injection of radioactivity to detect nonpalpable breast lesions and minimally invasive parathyroid surgery or parathyroid adenomas that are not easily localized during surgery.

Intraoperative Gamma Probe at Liv Hospital

At Liv Hospital, the high-tech intraoperative gamma probe is used professionally in surgical operations. This special probe allows precise identification and detection of tissues during surgery. It helps guide the surgeon by using it in important surgical stages such as cancer surgery and lymph node detection. The use of the intraoperative gamma probe at Liv Hospital contributes to patients having a more effective and safe experience during surgical interventions.
