Analysis of safety and efficacy of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy combined with or without indocyanine green tracer fluorescence technique in treatment of gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An adequate resection margin and lymph node dissection are important factors for successful radical gastrectomy. The presence of near-infrared camera imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) gives new insight into radical gastrectomy. Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with ICG is still in its initial stages and requires more evidence-based medical research. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and availability of lymph node dissection and precise gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients undergoing radical resection under laparoscope with ICG, in the hope of providing evidence of application of ICG tracer fluorescence technique in radical gastrectomy.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed with 56 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical
