Abstract

s / International Journal of Surgery 11 (2013) 589e685 681 ABSTRACTS is negative and 63.6% (14/22) when the sentinel lymph node is positive. This is in comparison to MSLT's findings of 9.7% (62/642) when the SLN is negative and 26.2% (32/122) when the SLN is positive. Conclusions: Our identification rates and incidence of positive nodes are comparable to MSLT. However our false negative and mortality rates fall short of these standards. The procedure of SLNB should correctly identify the SLN, and this failure rate has prompted us to consider other forms of identification of the SLN such as PET and CT scanning. We will continue to audit our outcomes. 0810: HAND INFECTIONS e HOW DEEP IS THE PROBLEM? Jessica Harvey , Isabel Teo , Sarah Thompson , Trevor Winstanley .
