AI Article Synopsis
- An innovative, minimally-invasive method for harvesting the temporoparietal fascia flap is introduced for children's ear reconstruction due to microtia.
- The technique employs intra-operative Indocyanine Green Angiography, which has not been used in this context before, to enhance the viability of the flap.
- This approach aims to reduce the risk of injury to the facial nerve during the procedure, improving patient safety and outcomes.
Article Abstract
Described herein is an innovative, minimally-invasive technique to harvest temporoparietal fascia flap used in implant-based ear reconstruction for children with microtia. This technique utilizes a never previously described application of intra-operative Indocyanine Green Angiography to optimize flap viability and minimizing the risk of facial nerve injury. Laryngoscope, 133:3615-3618, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of 3D virtual modeling (3DVM) and indocyanine green perfusion angiography (ICGPA) in improving surgical planning and outcomes during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for colon cancer.
- Advanced imaging techniques allowed for precise preoperative planning, showing a high correlation with intraoperative findings, which enabled better decisions regarding vessel management and anastomotic site selection.
- The results indicate that using 3DVM and ICGPA not only enhances the surgical team’s ability to visualize vascular structures but also leads to successful surgeries without postoperative complications.

Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is a bilateral, chronic posterior uveitis with characteristic clinical and imaging findings. Multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography, fluorescein, and indocyanine green angiography is useful in diagnosis, as well as monitoring disease activity. Cystoid macular edema, choroidal thickening and infiltration, ellipsoid loss, and vasculitis are important imaging markers for disease activity.

Despite significant advancements in bioimaging technology, only a limited number of fluorophores are currently approved for clinical applications. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the first FDA-approved near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore and has significantly advanced clinical interventions over the past three decades. However, its single-channel imaging at 800 nm emission is often insufficient for capturing comprehensive diagnostic information during surgery.

Purpose: A projection-resolved optical coherence tomography angiography (PR-OCTA) algorithm with slab-specific strategy was applied in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) to differentiate between polyp and branching vascular network (BVN) and improve polyp detection by en face OCTA.
Methods: Twenty-nine participants diagnosed with PCV by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and 30 participants diagnosed with typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) were enrolled. Polyps were classified into three categories after using the slab-specific PR algorithm.
