Excerpt
Since the technique for liver segmentation using indocyanine green (ICG) was first reported,
1 this method has been widely used for anatomic liver resection. ICG has typically been administered only once during surgery, when surgeons use the negative staining method.
2 In this approach, blood flow is blocked by clamping the Glissonean sheaths flowing in the cancer-bearing hepatic segment, allowing the demarcation line of the ischemic area to be determined on the liver surface. …
