Abstract:
With the in-depth understanding of liver physiology, oncology, and anatomy, as well as the development of imaging technology and surgical equipment, hepatectomy has become more precise. Determination of tumor boundary during surgery has a great significance in realizing precise hepatectomy. Various methods for determination of tumor boundary during hepatectomy have been summarized and compared here, as well as their own advantages and disadvantages, with a focus on the detection methods which have not been widely used in clinical practice but have promising prospects, such as indocyanine green-mediated near-infrared light detection and navigation technique and near-infrared molecular imaging technique mediated by nano-molecular probes. Combined application of various examination techniques will become an inevitable trend of development in liver surgeries in the future.
