title: [From the surgical field to the microscope. A new tool to identify the lymph node specimens in oncologic surgery].
abstract: Oncologic surgery and pTNM staging require systemic removal of the locoregional lymphnodes. While the optimal extent and therapeutical and/or prognostic value of the lymphadenectomy/sampling are debated organ by organ and (sub)speciality by (sub)speciality, relevance of the lymphnode sytem-tumor concept itself is beyond doubt. Loss of information and existence of traps on the "surgical field-microscope" pathway is an international phenomenon, calling for solution. An integrated sterile and disposable lymphnode tray system is presented here for applications in the different fields of cancer surgery of the upper GI tract, retroperitoneum (gynecology, urology) and ear-nose-throat surgery.
