Application of indocyanine green fluorescence endoscopic system in transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors

ConclusionsThe ICG endoscopic system is simple, user-friendly, quick, cost-effective, and reliable. The method offered real-time information during TSS to delimit pituitary and parasellar region tumor tissue from surrounding normal structures. This method can contribute to the improvement of total removal rates of tumors, reduction of complications after TSS, saving surgical time, and preserving endocrinological functions.
