However, MIS completion radical cholecystectomy for incidentally diagnosed gallbladder cancer can be challenging due to a reoperative field and lack of tactile feedback. This video demonstrates the utility of th
Background and study aimsVery recently, robotic single site cholecystectomy (RSSC) has been reported feasible and safe for selected cases. While an intra-operative cholangiography can be performed, data is scarce with respect to its use. Indocyanin green (ICG) has been shown to be a viable ...
Cardiac surgery was the most relevant field of application, and in 2001 a transatlantic cholecystectomy, the so-called Lindbergh operation, was performed with the surgeon operating in New York while the patient was in Strasbourg, France. 1.4 The da Vinci Era Years earlier, when the ZEUS ...
Severance Hospital was honored to launch the start of robotic surgery in South Korea when the first robotic-assisted cholecystectomy was carried out in July 2005. From 2005 to 2014, more than 16,000 urological robotic procedures were performed in South Korea (Fig. 1); of these cases more ...
Indocyanine green (ICG, Dongindang Pharmaceutical Co., Siheung, Korea) was used as a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent contrast agent for intraoperative fluorescence imaging. ICG solution was endoscopically injected into submucosal layer at four sites (0.6 mL at each site, for a total ICG amount...
The cystic duct, the common bile duct, and the common hepatic duct were successfully visualized with ICG in 97.8%, 96.1%, and 94% of cases, respectively. Conclusions. ICG fluorescent cholangiography during robotic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure that helps real-...

4). Robotic sentinel node studies, performed with ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid since 2009, have demonstrated that the integration of radio and fluorescence guidance provides a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario [38]. Hereby, the in-depth detection capabilities of radioguided surgery are complemented with ...
