Laparoscopic Posterolateral Sectionectomy in Hepatocellular Cacinoma - Increasing Oncological Precision by Combining the Glissonean Pedicle Approach and Fluorescence Guidance

CONCLUSION: As an additional intraoperative tool, ICG-imaging may provide visualisation of segment and sector boundaries and thus may enable precise anatomical resection. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate the added value of this technique, especially with regard to the rate of R0 resections.PMID:34706376 | DOI:10.1055/a-1592-1953
