Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Near-infrared fluorescent clips (ZEOCLIP FS) show 75% detection in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery. This study confirms the feasibility and safety of these clips for accurate tumor localization and resection margins.
Area Of Science
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastroenterology
- Medical Devices
Background
- Accurate tumor localization and resection margins are critical in gastric cancer surgery.
- Current methods like preoperative marking clips and intraoperative gastroscopy are not universally available.
- Near-infrared fluorescent clips offer a potential alternative for improved surgical guidance.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the diagnostic performance of near-infrared fluorescent clips (ZEOCLIP FS) in laparoscopic gastrectomy.
- To assess the feasibility and safety of using these clips for tumor marking.
- To determine the detection rate and accuracy of clip placement.
Main Methods
- A prospective clinical trial enrolled 20 patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric tumors.
- Fluorescent clips were placed endoscopically near tumors the day before surgery.
- Intraoperative detection of clips using a fluorescent laparoscope guided suturing and resection.
Main Results
- The detection rate of the near-infrared fluorescent clips was 75.0% (15 out of 20 patients).
- No complications related to the fluorescent clips were observed during the study.
- The median distance between the clips and surgical stitches was 5 mm.
Conclusions
- Preoperative placement and intraoperative detection of near-infrared fluorescent marking clips are feasible in laparoscopic gastrectomy.
- The use of these clips appears safe and aids in achieving accurate tumor localization and resection margins.
- ZEOCLIP FS demonstrates potential as a valuable tool in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
