Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis using direct gallbladder indocyanine green injection fluorescence cholangiography: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for almost all biliary diseases. We present a novel technique using near-infrared fluorescence imaging for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A 78-year-old woman diagnosed with acute cholecystitis (Grade II) was scheduled for emergency laparoscopy according to Tokyo Guidelines 2018. We performed a direct percutaneous drainage of the gallbladder to grasp the gallbladder itself. Subsequently, indocyanine green was administered into the gallbladder through the same tube, and the cystic and common bile ducts could be easily detected. The postoperative course was good, and the patient was discharged in remission nine days after the surgery.
