Removing in situ and metastasis lesions completely during gynecological surgery is central to reduce the recurrence and death, and the identification of lesions in traditional gynecological surgery often depends on the experience of surgeons. The identification of nerves is often needed in gynecological surgery, such as the obturator nerves in pelvic lymphadenectomy, and the pelvic autonomic nerves in nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Nerve identification also relies heavily on the experience of surgeons. This project aims to realize the identification of lesions and nerves under the navigation of indocyanine green fluorescent imaging, and evaluate the accuracy of fluorescent imaging of lesions and the effectiveness of nerves identification by near-infrared imaging. This project may reduce the recurrence or death caused by residual lesions and postoperative dysfunction caused by nerves injury, thus, improve the survival rate and quality of life for patients with gynecological diseases.
