Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy using RUBINA ™ technology: preliminary experience in two pediatric surgery centers
ConclusionOur preliminary experience suggested that the new RUBINA ™ technology was very effective to perform ICG-FC during LC in pediatric patients. The advantages of this technology include the possibility to overlay the ICG-NIRF data onto the standard white light image and provide surgeons a constant fluorescence imaging of the target anatomy to assess positio n of critical biliary structures or presence of anatomical anomalies and safely perform the operation.
