ICG fluorescence in gastrointestinal pediatric surgery is a promising and safe technology that facilitates intraoperative localization of anatomical structures to achieve a more precise dissection and avoid injury to other adjacent tissues. It can be considered as a meaningful tool for assessing intestinal viability, as it provides objective data on tissue perfusion, and can impact the intraoperative decision in reconstructive surgeries requiring anastomosis. Future studies are needed to confirm these initial promising results. The lack of comparative and prospective studies is still the main limitation.
