  1. SLN—sentinel lymph node; SPECT/CT—single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography; 99mTc—technetium-99m nanocolloid
  2. *Including one out of template SLN (near aorta bifurcation); not detected with TDIP or rigid gamma probe
  3. **Including one out of template SLN (deep obturator space); on SPECT/CT classified as within template (i.e., obturator space)
