Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Fluorescence angiography (FA) with indocyanine green (ICG) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) are novel intraoperative visualization techniques in abdominal, vascular and transplant surgery. With the purpose of precision surgery, and in order to increase patient's safety, these new tools aim at reducing postoperative morbidity and mortality. This review discusses and highlights recent developments and the future potential of real-time imaging modalities.
