Use of Indocyanine Green Fluorescent Imaging in the Assessment of a Tongue Flap After Lateral Hemiglossectomy
2021
Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is a real-time imaging modality that can be used to assess intraoperative tissue perfusion. ICG dye has proven to be feasible, safe, and cost-effective, especially for muscle flaps during complex reconstructions. To our knowledge, we discuss the first use of ICG angiography for the real-time assessment of a tongue flap following left lateral hemiglossectomy. ICG angiography showed excellent perfusion of the tongue and tongue flap, which subsequently led to an uncomplicated postoperative recovery.
