Early Experience With Indocyanine Green (<scp>ICG</scp>) Fluorescent Guided Transoral Robotic Surgery With the Da Vinci <scp>SP</scp>
The integration of systemic ICG injection with the Da Vinci SP robot's real-time imaging capabilities offers a potential option for enhancing primary tumor identification in CUP patients that adds little to no cost, time, and morbidity to the patient. This preliminary analysis suggests that the use of ICG in robotic surgery for CUP holds promise and warrants further investigation to refine surgical techniques and enhance clinical outcomes.
