The modified targeted axillary dissection procedure. A Intradermal injection of indocyanine green (ICG) (a) and methylene blue (MB) (b) around the areola before the operation. B Lymphatic vessels stained mainly with MB. C The adipose tissue stained by carbon nanoparticles (CNs) overflowing in the axillary tissue, with the clipped lymph node below. D, E ICG traced two sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), and CNs and MB stained one SLN. F Clip in the CNs-located node confirmed by intraoperative mammography. G Carbon pigments in the lymph node subcapsular sinus (hematoxylin–eosin × 40)
