Fresh and refrigerated cadaveric preparations are ideal for experimental sentinel lymph node mapping in dogs

Key Points

• Refrigerated cadavers provide consistent results in mapping peripheral sentinel lymph nodes.
• When fresh cadavers are unavailable, utilizing refrigerated options ensures effective experimentation.
• Assessment across various cadaveric conditions demonstrates reliable mapping outcomes for surgical applications.
• Implications suggest that refrigerated cadaver use may enhance experimental models in veterinary surgery.
