Fluorescence-based cholangiography: preliminary results from the IHU-IRCAD-EAES EURO-FIGS registry
2019
Introduction
Near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography (NIRF-C) is a popular application of fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS). NIRF-C requires near-infrared optimized laparoscopes and the injection of a fluorophore, most frequently Indocyanine Green (ICG), to highlight the biliary anatomy. It is investigated as a tool to increase safety during cholecystectomy. The European registry on FIGS (EURO-FIGS: www.euro-figs.eu) aims to obtain a snapshot of the current practices of FIGS across Europe. Data on NIRF-C are presented.
