ICG: Has It Become a Standard of Care in Gynecological Surgery?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This educational video demonstrates the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in gynecological surgery for pelvic anatomy visualization and sentinel lymph node mapping. During live surgery, ICG is injected into the ureters and cervix, enabling identification of ureters and sentinel lymph nodes under infrared light. The procedure highlights how ICG aids in precise lymph node removal and helps prevent ureteral injury in complex surgeries like radical hysterectomy and deep endometriosis treatment. ICG’s fluorescence guidance enhances surgical accuracy, making it a standard tool in gynecological oncology and advanced pelvic surgeries.
