Wan J, Wang S, Yan B, Tang Y, Zheng J, Ji H et al.
BJS Open 2022; 6: zrac151.
In this study that included 66 procedures, use of indocyanine green detected a median of two more nodes during dissection. The median number of positive nodes was similar in the two groups.
Comment: Elegant, but may not affect clinical outcomes.
