The Use of Fluorescent Imaging for Intraoperative Cholangiogram During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Indocyanine Green (ICG) for Cholelithiasis and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a fluorescent die and a special infrared camera can assist with the identification of the important structures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This finding may assist surgeons to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy in less time and in a safer fashion than standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
