“…However, the small case number and lack of follow‐up data represent major limitations of the present study. Solid evidence on the benefit of intraoperative ICGA and video microscopy in improving testicular artery preservation during MSV is eagerly awaited . Continued investigation, by including more patients, would be worthwhile.…”

Aim:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of the use of the video microsurgery platform and fluorescence imaging exoscope system for microsurgical subinguinal varicocoelectomy (MSV) with intraoperative indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Patients and Methods: Two patients with three varicoceles had MSV and intraoperative ICGA performed in August 2018. A video telescopic operating microscope (VITOM) 3-D system and a VITOM II ICG system were connected to a modular FULL HD IMAGE1 S camera platform. Both telescopes were mounted for convenient positioning and switch between the telescopes. Results: The VITOM 3-D system provided excellent, high-definition image quality and anatomical details necessary for the procedure of MSV. The system offered a more ergonomic working environment for the operating surgeons. The addition of VITOM II ICG system allowed intraoperative ICGA for better identification of the testicular artery. Testicular arteries were clearly identified and preserved. The setup with holding arms and a camera platform facilitated quick switch between the video systems. Conclusions: The procedure of MSV with intraoperative ICGA can be performed efficiently with the utilization of the video microsurgery platform.

“…NIR/ICG has widespread applications in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery such as the spermatic vein resection [ 129 ], partial adrenalectomy [ 130 ], sentinel lymph node biopsy for gynecological tumors [ 131 ], and observations of blood perfusion and anastomotic fistula in colorectal cancer [ 132 ]. In addition, the system is used to visualize liver metastases or primary tumors of the liver and observe blood perfusion after kidney transplantation in liver surgery [ 133 ].…”

Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists to provide accurate and effective optical diagnosis in real time. This review mainly analyzes the current status of clinically available endoscopic optical imaging techniques, with emphasis on the latest updates of existing techniques. We summarize current coverage of these technologies in major hospital departments such as gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, pneumology, and laparoscopic surgery. In order to promote a broader understanding, we further cover the underlying principles of these technologies and analyze their performance. Moreover, we provide a brief overview of future perspectives in related technologies, such as computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) algorithms dealing with exploring endoscopic video data. We believe all these efforts will benefit the healthcare of the community, help endoscopists improve the accuracy of diagnosis, and relieve patients’ suffering.
