About this trial

This study aims to assess a simple intervention: Visualization of lymphatic injury + treatment (in case of detection). This will generate data on the incidence of intraoperative lymphatic injury and the effect of treatment. This data will then hopefully enable a multi-center RCT to generate high level evidence on this matter.
