Abstrakt:	Pleuroperitoneal communication occurs when ascites moves from the abdominal cavity to the pleural cavity via a diaphragmatic fistula. Managing large pleural fluid volumes is challenging, often requiring an operation. Identifying small diaphragmatic fistulas during the operation can be problematic, but ensuring their detection improves outcomes. This video tutorial presents a recent empirical case in which we successfully identified and closed a pleuroperitoneal contact using a thoracoscopic surgical procedure aided by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. The patient, a 66-year-old woman, was hospitalized due to acute dyspnoea from a right thoracic pleural effusion during hepatic ascites treatment for cirrhosis. Because ascites decreased with pleural fluid drainage, surgical intervention was considered due to suspicion of a pleuroperitoneal connection. During the operation, indocyanine green was injected intraperitoneally, and near-infrared fluorescence-guided thoracoscopy pinpointed the location of the diaphragmatic fistula. The fistula was sutured and reinforced with a polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue. Detecting the fistula intraoperatively is crucial to prevent recurrence, and the indocyanine green fluorescence method is a safe and effective technique for detecting small fistulas.
