Visualization of endometriosis with laparoscopy and near ‐infrared optics with indocyanine green
ConclusionsThe diagnostic value of NIR ‐ICG imaging in identifying endometriosis appears to be minimal. ICG exposure time over 20 minutes, no previous abdominal surgery, and low rASRM stages have a significant positive effect on the ICG detection rate. NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG was helpful in the resection of deep infiltrating nodules by providing a better visualization of endometriosis.
