Advancing Neuroblastoma Surgery through the Clinical Integration of Virtual Reality and Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guided Imaging: A Case Report
VR and ICG fluorescence imaging hold promise for enhancing surgical precision and safety in pediatric neuroblastoma. While current limitations include the lack of real-time image overlay and inadequate visualization of tumor margins, future advancements in navigation systems and targeted probes may overcome these barriers and significantly improve oncologic outcomes.
