Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application value and initial clinical experience of fluorescence-enhanced laparoscopy combined with indocyanine green in radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of a total of 8 patients admitted from May 2018 to August 2019 who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer using the fluorescent laparoscopy system.There were 6 males and 2 females; aged 58 to 71 years, with an average of 65.8 years. The preoperative pathology was urothelial carcinoma, with 2 cases in T 2a stage, 4 cases in T 2b stage, and 2 cases in T 3a stage. The patient was injected a total of 2 ml of 2.5 mg/ml of indocyanine green through a rigid cystoscope using a 18 gauge cystoscope injection needle before surgery. The PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence camera system performed surgery in real-time. A systematic examination of the surgical area under near-infrared fluorescence was performed every 5 minutes. Observation and recording of indocyanine green combined with fluorescence laparoscopy to mark the bladder tumor area and identify the sentinel drainage. Results:Eight cases were successfully completed under the fluorescence laparoscopic system.In terms of tumor markers, cystoscopy with indocyanine green allowed 7 of the 8 patients to successfully identify the tumor area under fluorescent laparoscopy. Six of the 8 patients with sentinel lymph nodes identified by indocyanine green lymphangiography were also successful, of which 3 were positive for lymph nodes. At the same time, intravenous indocyanine green was used to observe that the blood supply to the bladder and the end of the ureter was good. The operation time was 190-310 minutes, with an average of 235 minutes; the bleeding volume was 150-380 ml, with an average of 180 ml; the postoperative hospital stay was 10-22 days, with an average of 14.5 days. Postoperative pathological staging 2 cases in T 2a stage, 3 cases in T 2b stage, 3 cases in T 3a stage, with total number of lymph nodes 8-14, average 10. The 8 cases were followed-up for 4-12 months, average 5.5 months, without indocyanine green related complications. Conclusions:Indocyanine green fluorescent laparoscopy can accurately locate and identify the bladder tumor area and pelvic lymph nodes during radical cystectomy, which can reduce positive margins and unnecessary enlarged lymph node dissection.
