Fluorescent cholangiography (nirf-c) was compared with intraoperative cholangiogram (ioc) and critical view of safety in white light (cvs-wl) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lc) performed by trainee surgeons. A total of 338 patients were analyzed, with nirf-c group showing higher rates of common hepatic and common bile duct visualization. There were no significant differences in operative time or time to achieve the critical view of safety. The use of nirf-c did not prolong operative time but improved surgeon satisfaction during lc.
