Nowadays, two predominant methods for detecting sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in cervical cancer are in use. The most conventional method is a combination of a radiotracer, technetium-99m (99mTc) and blue dye. More recently, another method for SLN mapping using indocyanine green (ICG) is becoming widely accepted. ICG is a fluorescent dye, visualised intraoperatively with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, providing real-time visual navigation.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with fluorescent cholangiography using indocyanine green dye (FC) identifies extrahepatic biliary structures, potentially augmenting the critical view of safety. We aim to describe trends for the largest single-centre cohort of patients undergoing FC in LC. A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database identified patients undergoing LC with FC at a single academic institution.

Olympus announced that it launched its Visera Elite III surgical visualization platform for endoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery has been applied for Hirschsprung’s disease (HD). We herein report our approach to mesenteric processing for laparoscopic-assisted transanal endorectal pull-through (L-TERPT). Following mucosectomy and entering

To determine the efficacy of a surgical training model for fluorescence‐guided cancer surgery and validate its utility to detect any residual tumors after tumor resection using electrocautery. We developed surgical

Background: There is insufficient evidence on whether indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography can reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL). This retrospective cohort study aimed

Indocyanine Green is a fluorescent substance visible in near-infrared light. It is useful for the identification of anatomical structures (biliary tract, ureters, parathyroid, thoracic duct),

Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) allows for real-time intraoperative assessment of the perfusion of the gastric conduit during esophagectomy. The aim of this study was

Objective: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG) for image-guided resection of head and neck cancer (HNC). Review methods: Searches were conducted

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is commonly used to assess perfusion, but quality defining features are lacking. We sought to establish qualitative features of esophageal ICG

Revision surgery for the complications after repair of esophageal atresia is often complex because of previous surgeries and chest infections and thus requires surgical expertise.

Objective: To compare the (sentinel) lymph node detection rate of ICG-fluorescent imaging versus standard-of-care 99mTc-nanocoilloid for sentinel lymph node (SLN)-mapping. Summary background data: The current

Researchers nowadays have devoted extra attention to the different biomedical applications of indocyanine green (ICG), a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved fluorescent compound in
