STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in highlighting ureteral anatomical landmarks for the successful and safe execution of robotic-assisted transvaginal NOTES hysterectomy with resection of deeply infiltrated endometriosis.
INTRODUCTION: Ischemic gastropathy is one of the unique postoperative complications associated with distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate blood flow to the stom...
BACKGROUND: Securing sufficient blood perfusion to the anastomotic area after low-anterior resection is a crucial factor in preventing anastomotic leakage (AL). Intra-operative indocyanine green fluorescent imaging (ICG-FI) has been suggested as a to...
Delayed surgical reconstruction of iatrogenic ureteral injuries is often a challenging procedure because spreading scar tissue impedes accurate identification and dissection of the injured ureter. We report a novel real-time navigation system using a...
We evaluated and described the impact of prostatic indocyanine green (ICG) injection on extended pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection (ePLND) in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Between January 2019 and December 2021, we included consecuti...
Landmark artery identification in the neurovascular bundle (NVB) is important for nerve-sparing in radical prostatectomy. We aimed to investigate intraoperative angiography using indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence (ICG-NIRF) during robo...
BACKGROUND: Adequate lymphadenectomy during gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer resection is essential, because lymph node (LN) metastasis correlates with increased recurrence risk. Fluorescence lymphography with indocyanine green (ICG) has been u...
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a staging procedure dependent on accurate mapping of draining lymphatics via tracers. Robot-assisted SLNB enables access to multiple neck levels with a single incision and intraoperative fluorescence g...

BACKGROUND: The sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedures using indocyanine green (ICG) have recently been performed worldwide. The aim of this study was to emphasise the safety of robot-assisted modified radical hysterectomy (RAMRH) with removal of the l...
