  • Indocyanine green (ICG) is a fluorochrome used in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries to enhance visualization, with numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses published on its efficacy.
  • A comprehensive analysis identified 116 studies, including 41 systematic reviews and 75 meta-analyses, focusing primarily on colorectal, obstetrics and gynecology, and hepatopancreato-biliary surgeries, but showed significant variability in ICG dosage and administration practices.
