Indocyanine Green and Radioisotope Tracers for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer: A Prospective Comparative Study
ICG detects more sentinel lymph nodes than radioisotopes in early cervical cancer, aiding mapping but may risk over-identification.
Continue readingRole of intraoperative indocyanine green roadmap as a safety measure in emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Intraoperative ICG may reduce open conversion and hospital stay in acute cholecystitis surgery, with no proven drop in bile duct injury.
Continue readingThe efficacy of indocyanine green fluorescence in facilitating thoracic duct visualisation and mitigating injury in cervicothoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ICG improves thoracic duct visibility and lowers chyle leak risk in cervicothoracic surgery, outperforming white light methods.
Continue readingIntraoperative fluorescence in solid head and neck cancer: A scoping review
Review shows promise of fluorescence-guided surgery in head & neck cancer but notes need for better standardization and validation.
Continue readingSentinel lymph node detection in early ovarian cancer: the role of indocyanine green as a single tracer
ICG shows promise as a single tracer for SLN mapping in early ovarian cancer with high NPV but limited sensitivity; ultra-staging aids micrometastasis detection.
Continue readingComparative Analysis of Long-Term Outcomes Between Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green-Guided Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy and Conventional Surgery for Esophageal Cancer
NIRF-guided lymphadenectomy improves node yield in esophageal cancer surgery but shows no significant long-term survival advantage over conventional methods.
Continue readingAssessing the Comparative Efficacy of Sentinel Lymph Node Detection Techniques in Vulvar Cancer: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis finds ICG nearly matches Tc99m + blue dye in SLN detection for vulvar cancer, with SPIO showing promise as a radiation-free alternative.
Continue readingMitigating ‘inevitable’ anastomotic leaks in left-sided colorectal surgery: a combined strategy using indocyanine green fluorescence, intraoperative colonscopy and patient risk profiling
Using ICG fluorescence and colonoscopy with risk profiling lowers leak risk in colorectal surgery, though low anastomosis height remains a key factor.
