Article Synopsis
- Fluorescence intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) uses the near-infrared dye indocyanine green (ICG) to identify bile duct anatomy and prevent injuries during surgeries.
- The study revealed that ICG peaks in fluorescence at 844 nm when combined with bile, reaching optimal visibility 8 minutes after injection, and is rapidly taken up by liver cells and excreted into bile.
- Results showed that fluorescence IOC effectively detects bile duct issues and offers a reliable alternative for visualizing extrahepatic bile ducts, making it useful for monitoring biliary dynamics in surgical settings.
