Fluorescence Cholangiography for Extrahepatic Bile Duct Visualization in Urgent Mild and Moderate Acute Cholecystitis Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Pilot Study.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis carries an increased risk of biliovascular injuries. Fluorescence cholangiography (FC) is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of FC in delineating EHBD anatomy, both before and after dissection, based on the critical view of safety (CVS) principles.
