Advantages and rational application of indocyanine green fluorescence in pulmonary nodule surgery: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The early detection and early treatment of high-risk pulmonary nodules directly affect the long-term survival rate of patients. However, conventional nodule localization methods, such as hook-wire, technetium-99m, and methylene blue are associated with issues such as a high-frequency of complications, low patient tolerance, serious side effects, and inability to identify pigmented lungs. For patients who require segmentectomy, there is often a lack of effective path planning, resulting in insufficient resection margins or excessive loss of lung function. Therefore, effective and rational nodule localization and surgical approaches are crucial. This narrative review aimed to evaluate the advantages of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in pulmonary nodule
