Review of IOC, ICG fluorescence, LUS, and ERCP in pediatric biliary surgery, highlighting benefits, limitations, and future innovations.
ICG angiography enables safer, earlier division in cross-leg free flaps by confirming perfusion, improving outcomes in complex limb salvage.
Continuous ICG imaging effectively tracked renal perfusion changes in pigs, showing strong correlation with flow, especially via slope metrics.
MUV Taskforce defines multimodal imaging criteria to diagnose and monitor MEWDS, aiding in accurate uveitis classification and care.
Review of MIS hepatectomy, robotic surgery, and ICG imaging in liver cancer care, with insights into novel ablation techniques like histotripsy.
ICG fluorescence enables real-time assessment of meniscal vascularity during knee arthroscopy, with age- and site-specific differences observed.
ATHLONE, IRELAND – Diagnostic Green Ltd (Diagnostic Green) is pleased to announce the approval of Verdye (Indocyanine Green, ICG) for intraoperative identification of sentinel lymph
ICG fluorescence shows higher SLN detection and sensitivity than gamma tracing in head and neck cancer. Promising tool for staging accuracy.
ICG fluorescence imaging safely verifies uterine perfusion during robotic transposition, helping prevent ischemia or necrosis post-op.
Segmental bronchial marking with ICG improves safety and accuracy in thoracoscopic segmentectomy, especially for complex lung resections.
The acquisition is set to create a comprehensive surgical intelligence platform that offers objective and standardised perfusion assessments. This innovation is expected to reduce surgical risks and improve clinical outcomes across various procedures, including colorectal, reconstructive, and vascular surgeries. Additionally, the integration opens new commercial opportunities in chronic wound care and diabetic foot ulcer treatment, potentially benefiting over 18 million patients globally.
ICG offers a safe, cost-effective alternative to 99mTc for sentinel lymph node mapping in early breast cancer, with a 98% detection rate.
ICG-guided imaging in neonatal surgery proves safe and effective, aiding anatomy visualization and decision-making in diverse procedures.
ICG fluorescence angiography reduces anastomotic leaks in both high and low anterior resections, supporting its use in colorectal surgery.
