ABSTRACT
With the widespread introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the incidence of iatrogenic main bile duct lesions has significantly increased, with incidences ranging from 0.2 to 1.5% according to current studies. Although there are studies regarding the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for improved visualization of the biliary anatomy, there is no consensus on the dose, timing and optimal mode of administration, or the indications in which ICG provides a real benefit through increased safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). A systematic review was performed on articles in English published until March 2021, which were identified on PubMed, Springer Nature, Elsevier and Scopus via specific mesh terms: 'Indocyanine green'/'near-infrared fluorescence' and 'laparoscopic cholecystitis'. The most used method of administration of ICG was intraveno usly, only one study evaluated the efficiency of a near-infrared cholangiogram (NIRC) when ICG was administered directly in the gallbladder. The majority of the studies included in the review used 2.5 mg of ICG administered within 1 h before imaging. The intensity of the NIRC fluorescence signal was revealed to depend on several factors, with obesity and inflammation as the most clinically significant. NIRC was reported to be a simple, feasible, safe and cost-effective procedure, which may improve safety in difficult cases of LC. NIRC use in combination with white light has been demonstrated to be superior to white light alone in identifying extrahepatic biliary anatomy, thus decreasing the risk of intraoperative bile duct injuries (BDI). For its large-scale use, data on a higher number of patients to confirm its clinical value and specific indications is required.
