The impact of indocyanine green on tumor visualization and procedural adjustment in minimally invasive liver surgery
ICG can improve oncological quality in minimally invasive liver resections. It provides additional visual information which can help to compensate the loss of haptics and tumor identification during liver tissue palpation. The intraoperative use of ICG was associated with no adverse events and did not prolong operative time. We recommend its routine use during minimally invasive liver surgery.
