In performing laparoscopic deroofing (LD) of liver cysts, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging is particularly useful for delineating adequate margins for the procedure and for avoiding duct injuries. However, the optimal timing of ICG injection has not yet been clarified. Herein, we describe a patient who had a large liver cyst, in whom safe and efficient LD was performed under sharp fluorescent imaging obtained by intravenous injection of ICG 1 hour before cyst fenestration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
