Figure 2

The distribution of the black-stained lymph nodes in different areas. Of these, level III has the highest possibility of detection of black-stained LN, while the metastasis in LN mostly occurs in levels VI, III, and II, and seldom involves levels V and I which is consistent with the literature. The mean lymph node yield in different areas was expressed in red.
