Because of the short time until maximum ICG fluorescence of sentinel lymph nodes, intraoperative injections could be a sufficient alternative to preoperative injections for oncological gastric surgery. Combined ICG and SF lymphography was feasible and resulted in clear lymphograms with no interference between the two dyes. The ability to use multiple dyes during a surgical procedure offers the exciting prospect of simultaneously assessing perfusion and performing fluorescence lymphography.
