Research progress of indocyanine green fluorescence technology in gynecological applications

Abstract

Indocyanine green is a near‐infrared fluorescent dye which is widely used in various fields of surgery and gynecology. It is currently mainly used to detect various malignant tumors, sentinel lymph nodes, endometriosis lesions, ureter or intestinal occlusion, vaginal perfusion, uterine arterial blood perfusion, pelvic nerve, uterine niche, lymphatic edema, metastatic lesion shadow, and so on, providing new methods for decision‐making during surgery. This article elaborates the application progress of indocyanine green fluorescence technology in gynecology.
