Mastectomy Skin Flap Stability Prediction Using Indocyanine Green Angiography: A Randomized Prospective Trial.

Intraoperative ICG angiography does not directly minimize skin erosion or necrosis. However, compared to gross examination alone, it enables surgeons to perform a more active debridement during surgery, thereby contributing to a lower incidence of advanced skin necrosis. In breast reconstruction, ICG angiography may be useful for assessing the viability of the post-mastectomy skin flap and could contribute to successful reconstruction.
