Editorial Comment: Best practices in near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (NIRF/ICG)-guided robotic urologic surgery: a systematic review-based expert consensus

摘要

In this very nice paper Dr Cacciamani e other experts explained about use of indocyanine green (ICG) to allow visualization of both the vasculature and contours of anatomic structures (1). The use of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) technology with ICG has been explored in several surgical specialties (2). It is able to provide an enhanced anatomical view of the surgical field with potentially improved perioperative surgical outcomes They highlight the potential uses of NIRF with ICG for robotic urologic surgery integrating with Firefly technology in the Da Vinci Surgical platform and systema-
