Abstrakt: Indocyanine green (ICG) is an inert polypeptide that almost totally binds to high molecular weight plasma proteins; it is cleared by the hepatocytes and directly excreted into the bile with a half-life of about 3-5 minutes. Specific systems are required to see fluorescent images. The use of this dye has been reported in different surgical specialties, and the applications in hepatobiliary surgery are widening. Being firstly used to evaluate the preoperative liver function, intra- and postoperative dynamic checking of hepatic activity has been reported and integrated within perioperative protocols allowing a tailored treatment allocation. Intravenous injection (IV) or injection into the gallbladder can ease difficult cholecystectomy. Biliary leakage detection could be enhanced by IV ICG injection. Although with some contrasting results, the use of ICG for both delineating the limits of the resection and tumor-enhanced visualization was demonstrated to improve short- and long-term outcomes. Although the lack of strong evidence still precludes the introduction of this tool in clinical practice, it harbors great potential in liver surgery.
