Abstract
Fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has recently been applied to laparoscopic surgery to identify cancerous tissues, lymph nodes, and vascular anatomy. Here, we report the use of ICG fluorescence imaging to visualize liver tumors and cysts during laparoscopic liver resection. Our results show that ICG fluorescence imaging is safe and feasible, with many applications in laparoscopic liver surgery.
