Seeing beyond Calot’s triangle: routine indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy - a prospective consecutive single-surgeon study of visualization performance and limitations
Abstract Purpose To characterise the visualisation performance, limitations, anatomical findings and safety of routine indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence cholangiography workflow in a consecutive elective and emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy cohort. This descriptive study was not designed to establish superiority over white-light surgery or intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). Methods Prospectively collected data were analyzed for consecutive adults undergoing elective or emergency laparoscopic cholecystec …
