Advantages of laparoscopic segmentectomy of the liver using ICG fluorescent navigation by the negative staining method: A comparison with open procedure.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Laparoscopic segmentectomy (LS) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation with negative staining method has potential for performing accurate and safe anatomical excision. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of LS using ICG fluorescence navigation compared with open segmentectomy (OS).

Methods

Eighty-seven patients who underwent anatomical segmentectomies were evaluated for OS (n = 44) and LS (n = 43). The Glissonean pedicle approach was performed using either extra- or intrahepatic method, depending on the location of segment in LS. After clamping pedicle, negative staining method was performed. Liver transection was done along intersegmental plane visualizing by overlay mode of ICG camera. Surgical outcomes were compared between two
