A retrospective pilot study to examine the feasibility of real-time navigation for laparoscopic liver resections in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma using fusion indocyanine green fluorescence imaging

摘要

Background and Objectives Recently, PINPOINT, a novel laparoscopic fusion indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (IGFI) system has become available for laparoscopic liver resection. This study aims to characterize fluorescence patterns of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) using the negative counterstaining method in laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomies of ICC.
