Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery Aims and scope

Abstract

Introduction

The application of indocyanine green (icg) properties in the field of HPB surgery is gaining momentum. The adoption of the staining technique for the visualization of hepatic liver parenchyma is still preliminary.

Methods

We performed a 1:1 case- matched comparison among 20 patients who underwent robotic liver resection with or without the application of icg fluorescence.

Results

The icg enabled the reduction of postoperative liver abscess and bile leakage rate. The staining technique was not time-consuming and provided excellent enhancement of liver transection line.

Conclusion

The routine use of icg-fluorescence could potentially reduce the postoperative complications during robotic liver surgery.
