Sentinel device for Sfax
Hedi Chaker University Hospital in Sfax has begun using a gamma probe to detect sentinel lymph nodes, with funding from the Lions Clubs International Foundation. The device is used in breast and lymph-node surgery to identify the sentinel node precisely, reducing the extent of surgery and its side effects and helping patients recover and return to their normal lives more quickly. The department performs around 2,000 operations a year, 80% of them to treat cancers affecting women, including approximately 350 breast cancer operations.
