Use of Indocyanine Green augmented Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging in identification of biliary anatomy during Robotic Radical Resection of Gallbladder Adenocarcinomas.
Ali Ahmad, MD, FACS. University of Kansas School of Medicine-WichitaIntroduction: Gallbladder cancer remains a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. National guidelines recommend radical resection in the absence of metastatic disease. This often requires extensive dissection around the extrahepatic bile ducts. We report our experience of real-time near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) during… Continue Reading
