Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy using near-infrared imaging: the initial experience.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy using intraoperative indocyanine green dye with near-infrared fluorescence imaging seems to be safe and feasible. This technology may ultimately be helpful in resecting lesions with more precise surgical margins by identifying the vascular structure during laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy.
