Initial Report of Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging as an Intraoperative Adjunct for Lymph Node Harvesting During Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

摘要

Introduction: Adequate lymphadenectomy is a fundamental aspect of oncologically sound gastrectomies. Robot-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy is a minimally invasive alternative that allows functional imaging to be easily integrated to the surgical field and may aid in intraoperative identification of lymphovascular bundles.
