Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent iridoangiography was used to diagnose pigmented tumors of the iris. Ten patients with pigmented tumors of the iris were examined using a modified photo-slit lamp with infrared narrow-strip optic filters. Fluorescein fluorescent iridoangiography was found ineffective. ICG fluorescent iridoangiograms have shown the vascular net and helped define the time parameters. Signs characteristic of the studied condition were defined. ICG fluorescent iridoangiography, biomicroscopy, and clinical data helped specify the diagnosis, this permitting the choice of the correct treatment strategy.

Transpterygoid approaches to the skull base require dissection of the sphenopalatine artery, potentially compromising the option to harvest an ipsilateral nasoseptal flap (NSF) for reconstruction. In cases where other reconstructive options are limited, it may be necessary to utilize a NSF ipsilateral to the transpterygoid approach. Here, we describe the technique of NSF pedicle preservation with reconstruction outcomes.

Both photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are designed to focus their antitumor effect on only the tumor site, thereby minimizing unwanted severe damage to healthy tissue outside the tumor. However, each monotherapy is limited in achieving complete tumor eradication, resulting in tumor recurrence. The combination of multiple therapies may help to overcome the limitations of single therapy, improve the chances of complete tumor eradication, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Background: Intraoperative and postoperative biliary injuries remain significant complications of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to significantly reduce injuries caused by intraoperative operational errors. We found that the J-tube can reduce postoperative strictures and injuries to the common bile duct.

Background: Improving the intraoperative and postoperative performance of laparoscopic hepatectomy was quite a challenge for liver surgeons.
Aim: To determine the benefits of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy during and after surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinicopathological data of 107 patients who successfully underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy at Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University from June 2022 to June 2023.
