Researchers successfully performed laparoscopic total gastrectomy in two cases of remnant gastric cancer using intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence imaging. The technique allowed visualization of the liver and common bile duct, leading to safe dissection of severe adhesions between hepatobiliary organs and the remnant stomach. This novel approach resulted in successful surgeries without complications, demonstrating the potential utility of real-time indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in guiding laparoscopic procedures for remnant gastric cancer with severe adhesions.
