Since the beginning of the history of transplants, numerous difficulties have been faced in the effective implementation of this therapeutic practice, especially with regard to the transplantation of solid organs and their teaching and training, together with the time of removal and transplantation of the organ that directly influences the results of the transplant surgical procedure. The objective of this research was to demonstrate the results found on the process of using green indocyanine during the invention of the Automatic Portable Surgical Communication Equipment with the Robot R1T1 (APSCERR), as well as to demonstrate its capabilities in the medical area of organ transplantation. Biochemical exams, liver profile exams, and mitochondrial breathing exams were performed on the control group and on the indocyanine group. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical evaluations with a significance level of P < .05. As a result of this research, the effectiveness of using the APSCERR equipment on detecting the green indocyanine marker was proven, along with its ability to analyze macroscopic parameters together with the standard color "Dianin Boin scale" used to analyze the level of metabolism/reperfusion of the liver when observed with the APSCERR equipment connected to the R1T1 robot in the presence of green indocyanine. A patent for the development of APSCERR has been registered. It was possible to demonstrate the effectiveness of the equipment in detecting green indocyanine when analyzing parameters in the liver and the absence of a significant impact on the organ with the use of green indocyanine.

Background: Inadequate bowel perfusion is among risk factors for colorectal anastomotic leaks. Perfusion can be assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) during colon resections. Possible benefits from its systematic use in high-risk patients with rectal cancer remain inconsistent.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence as an alternative to traditional sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) techniques in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Specifically, the study aimed to assess sentinel node identification rates and the effectiveness of ICG in axillary staging without the use of radioactive tracers.
Methods: This retrospective study included 71 BC patients treated with NAC, who underwent SLNB using ICG fluorescence between 2020 and 2024.

Backgrounds/aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is now a critical, life-saving treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its significant benefits, biliary complications (BCs) continue to be a major cause of postoperative morbidity. This study evaluates the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the common bile duct (CBD) utilizing near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) imaging, and examines its association with the incidence of BCs within three months post-LT.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging technology is increasingly widely used in laparoscopic hepatectomy. However, previous studies have produced conflicting results regarding whether it is truly superior to traditional laparoscopic hepatectomy. This study investigated the clinical effect of laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using ICG imaging technology.
