Using Indocyanine Green (ICG) to Outline Biliary Tree During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Egypt60 participantsStarted 2022-05-05

Plain-language summary

The current study shows that Indocyanine green (ICG)-fluorescence cholangiography can be useful in identifying the extrahepatic biliary anatomy during Calot's triangle dissection. By avoiding hepatic fluorescence, the transhepatic intracholecystic-ICG route can increase the bile duct-to-liver contrast with less expense and no risk of hypersensitivity reactions than the intravenous ICG injection method. We recommend to use both techniques in case of acute cholecystitis with cystic duct obstruction. In cases of liver cirrhosis, we recommend transhepatic IC-ICG as IV-ICG is limited.
