Near Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography (NIRF-C) During Cholecystectomy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cholecystitis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an imaging system using Indocyanine Green (ICG) to assist in real-time identification of anatomy during cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). We propose to define the effectiveness of NIRF-C in identifying the cystic duct junction during cholecystectomy.
