Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging aids in precise lung-preserving surgery for intralobar pulmonary sequestration (IPS). This technique clearly demarcates lung tissue, facilitating complete thoracoscopic resection even with adhesions.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Surgical Imaging
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (IPS) is a congenital anomaly requiring surgical resection.
- Complete thoracoscopic lung-preserving surgery for IPS can be challenging due to unclear resection borders, especially with inflammation or adhesions.
- Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging offers real-time, perfusion-based demarcation without lung inflation.
