Abstract

Indocyanine green fluorescent (ICG) fluorescent imaging (ICG-FI) has been used in colorectal surgery to assess intra operative blood flow to the colon. Recently its use has expanded to allow imaging of the lymphatic drainage in cancer resections. This technique can been used for real time visualisation of lymph nodes, the detection of sentinel lymph nodes, lateral sidewall nodes, metastatic lymph nodes and peritoneal metastases. The technique is cheap and easy to use by the surgeon intra operatively. ICG lymphangiography has the potential to aid the surgeon to ensure complete lymphadenectomy is performed in cancer resections.
