The Clinical Value of Fluorescent Lymphography with Indocyanine Green During Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer: a Matched Cohort Study

Background Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) has been recently introduced for lymphatic mapping in several tumors. We aimed at investigating whether this technology may improve the intraoperative visualization of lymph nodes during robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
