Abstract:
ICG is widely applied in real-time imaging during abdominal surgery, plastic surgery, as well as oncologic staging and treatment. A twenty-eight year-old female patient was found to have a 4.5 cm solid pseudopapillary neoplasm in the tail of the pancreas. Under ICG-fluorescent pancreatic perfusion-guidance, we easily defined the margin of the pancreatic tumor and secured the resection margin when performing laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy in the patient. No clinically relevant complications, including postoperative pancreatic fistula, were noted. Intravenous ICG can be very easily and quickly detected in the pancreas under near infrared light. This enhanced vision gives strong contrast to the organ compared to a necrotic tumor with poor blood perfusion, such as solid pseudopapillary neoplasm. Based on our current experience, ICG pancreatic perfusion-guided determination of appropriate resection margin is useful and feasible during pancreaticoduodenectomy.
