Systemic indocyanine green administration to detect bile leakage after liver surgery: a prospective clinical trial, using historical controls

Systemic ICG with NIR imaging lowered POD 3 drainage bilirubin in liver surgery, showing safety and effectiveness in bile leak detection.

ICG angiography influenced section line changes in 16.5% of colorectal cases. Age >60 and TIFV ≥20s were key predictive risk factors.

Takasaki’s method with ICG fluorescence enhances safety and precision in complex laparoscopic liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Using ICG and technetium-99 improves SLN detection and lowers “empty pocket” risk in early-stage endometrial cancer patients.

ICG cholangiography supports young surgeons in safely performing emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis patients.

Quantitative ICG analysis detects flap perfusion deficits unseen by clinical assessment, aiding lower extremity reconstruction outcomes.

ICG detects more sentinel lymph nodes than radioisotopes in early cervical cancer, aiding mapping but may risk over-identification.

Intraoperative ICG may reduce open conversion and hospital stay in acute cholecystitis surgery, with no proven drop in bile duct injury.

ICG improves thoracic duct visibility and lowers chyle leak risk in cervicothoracic surgery, outperforming white light methods.

Review shows promise of fluorescence-guided surgery in head & neck cancer but notes need for better standardization and validation.
