3D laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy guided by 2D real-time indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy (LAH) for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been advocated by many surgeons in the hope of producing better oncological outcomes. Two recent techniques, 3D laparoscopic system and 2D real-time indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (r-ICG) guidance, are benefit for improving the operative precision of LAH in different aspects. However, these two techniques cannot be applied concomitantly because of the technical limitation. Although a new modern laparoscopic system with both 3D and indocyanine green (ICG) imaging mode has been designed, it has not been listed in many countries including China. Thus, we design a new procedure to perform the 3D LAH with 2D r-ICG guidance for HCCs with conventional laparoscopic systems. In this procedure, bot
