Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery

Achieving R0 resection in hepatic surgery is strongly associated with patient survival. Standard liver surgery planning and intraoperative decision tools include CT, MRI, PET-CT, and intraoperative ultrasound. Existing standard imaging and intraoperative tools have imperfect sensitivity and specificity. There is no consensus on using ICG for liver tumour detection. ICG may support safer hepatic resection by helping with margins, anatomical demarcation, vascularisation, bile leaks, and bile duct localisation.
