Using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation in laparoscopic hepatectomy leads to better outcomes for hepatic hemangioma patients.
- Median blood loss: 100 ml (ICG) vs 200 ml (conventional), p < 0.001.
- Hospital stays shortened: 5.9 days (ICG) vs 7.1 days (conventional), p < 0.001.
For patients with an Iwate score above 9, ICG significantly reduced operative time (158 min vs 224 min, p < 0.001) and hepatic inflow occlusions.
Consider ICG navigation to enhance surgical precision and patient recovery.
