Abstract:Background:The innovative use of the fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) represents a significant advancement in surgical oncology. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of ICG-coated clips for enhancing tumor localization during minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using female Yucatan miniature pigs, which approximate the human anatomy. Two pigs, each weighing 25-30 kg, underwent simulated gastrointestinal surgery. The ICG-coated clips used wer… Show more
