Contribution of the cadaveric recirculation system in the anatomical study of lymphatic drainage of the ovary: applications in the management of ovarian cancer.

Our study provides for a better understanding of lymphatic drainage of the ovary using a new detection method, and allows the possibility of improving the teaching for operators with a realistic model. Continuation of this work could lead to considering more targeted and thus less morbid lymph node sampling for lymph node staging in early-stage ovarian cancer.
