Endoscopic Tattooing Using Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence for Intraoperative Guidance in Colorectal Surgery: Review of the Literature

ICG-based endoscopic tattooing has demonstrated significant value in facilitating precise lesion localization during curative-intent colorectal surgery. Moreover, its use has been extended to guiding lymphadenectomy, with reports indicating improved lymph node yields. Nevertheless, further research is required to standardize protocols and address existing limitations.

Abstract

ICG-based endoscopic tattooing has demonstrated significant value in facilitating precise lesion localization during curative-intent colorectal surgery. Moreover, its use has been extended to guiding lymphadenectomy, with reports indicating improved lymph node yields. Nevertheless, further research is required to standardize protocols and address existing limitations.
