Application of Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green in Totally Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy.

Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with ICG can be successfully used in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and it contributes to both the completeness of D2 lymph node dissection and confirmation of the gastric transection line. Well-designed prospective randomized studies are needed in the future to fully validate our findings.
