Computer Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Indocyanine Green Injection for Intraoperative Mapping of Metastatic Suspected Lesions.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Surgical treatment in oncology is one of the main part concerning the surveillance rate of the patient in case of tumor recurrence. Metastatic suspected lesions are mostly located in the abdomen or pelvis and are diagnosed by PET, MRI, or CT scan. Especially surgery of small lesions in recurrent disease for diagnostic or therapeutic purpose is often challenging. Material and Methods: We report a case series of 3 patients who were treated in our department due to a metastatic suspected lesion in PET-CT in follow up. For histological confirmation we performed a laparoscopy using a near infrared camera (NIR) for an improved visualization of the metastatic suspected lesion during surgical treatment. Previously the lesion was marked with an amount of Indocyanine Gree
