Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging to localize insulinoma and provide three-dimensional demarcation for laparoscopic enucleation: a retrospective single-arm cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is a new technology that can improve the real-time location of tumor edges and small nodules during surgery. However, no study has investigated its application in laparoscopic insulinoma enucleation. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of this method for intraoperative localization of insulinomas and margin assessment during laparoscopic insulinoma enucleation.

Materials and methods

Eight patients who underwent laparoscopic insulinoma enucleation from October 2016 to June 2022 were enrolled. Two methods of ICG administration, ICG dynamic perfusion and three-dimensional (3D) demarcation staining, were utilized in the laparoscopic insulinoma enucleation. Tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) and histopatho
