In a retrospective cohort study, researchers evaluated the mid-term outcomes of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-guided laparoscopic right-sided colectomy. After propensity score matching, they found that the number of dissected central, intermediate, and total lymph nodes was significantly higher in the indocyanine green group. However, there was no difference in the 3-year relapse-free survival and overall survival rates between indocyanine green and non-indocyanine green groups. Thus, the study suggests that indocyanine green fluorescence imaging does not impact mid-term outcomes of laparoscopic right-sided colectomy.
