“…The application of this method includes the identification of thoracic ducts, segmental borders, pulmonary nodules and bullous lesions [5]. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports of this technique being used for diverticulectomy [6]. To ensure that the diverticulum neck was sufficiently coated with ICG, we inserted the lens of the endoscope into the diverticulum before injecting the ICG.…”

Background Esophageal diverticulum is a rare condition that requires treatment only when symptoms are present. Surgery has been considered to be the only curative option for symptomatic cases. The most popular procedure is diverticulectomy. Clear and intact exposure of the diverticulum’s neck is the basis for safe and effective diverticulectomy. Case presentation We herein report a case of a 57 year-old woman with an epiphrenic diverticulum. VATS diverticulectomy was scheduled. To better identify the diverticulum neck, we injected indocyanine green (ICG) into the diverticulum through the endoscopic channel, and the diverticulum wall and neck were clearly visible under near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence. With the help of this method, diverticulectomy was successfully performed. Conclusion This case shows that NIR fluorescence with ICG is safe, simple and reliable and can be used for diverticulectomy.
