Anatomical segmentectomy of the liver using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging significantly improves outcomes in cases of iatrogenic bile duct injury and recurrent cholangitis. A 46-year-old patient underwent surgical resection with ICG aiding in precise tissue identification and visualization, resulting in a successful procedure without bile leaks. Enhanced imaging of atrophic regions and abnormal biliary drainage solidifies ICG’s role in liver surgery from preoperative to postoperative phases, streamlining the surgical process and increasing patient safety.
