Article Abstract
In recent da Vinci robot systems (Intuitive Surgical), near-infrared fluorescence imaging (Firefly technology) has been used. With this technique, it is possible for surgeons to see important structures well beyond the limits of their eyes; hence, surgeons can safely operate and make critical decisions accurately using image-guided surgery. Because parathyroid glands (PTGs) are small and embedded in the surrounding tissues, such as lymph nodes and fat, it is often very hard for surgeons to identify PTGs. To preserve PTGs well, the surgeon must be able to accurately identify PTGs, preserve the vasculature surrounding, and maintain the perfusion to PTGs. Herein, we report an assessment of PTG perfusion using indocyanine green angiography in transoral robotic thyroidectomy.

Efficacy and safety of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Int J Colorectal Dis

Internal Medicine Department, Mirwais Regional Hospital, Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Background: The primary treatment for colorectal cancer, which is very prevalent, is surgery. Anastomotic leaking poses a significant risk following surgery. Intestinal perfusion can be objectively and instantly assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, which may lower leakage rates and enhance surgical results.

Introduction: Total splenectomy in children increases the risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). Laparoscopic subtotal splenectomy (LSS) is a technique to preserve splenic function while managing disease burden in pediatric hematologic disorders.
Materials And Surgical Technique: Three children aged 4 to 9 years with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) or hereditary spherocytosis underwent LSS.
Quantitative blood perfusion assessment by the SPY-QP software program for minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery.

Background: Although the usefulness of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) for anastomotic perfusion has been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials, the incidence of anastomotic leakage is not sufficiently low, even in patients using ICG. Because blood flow assessment using ICG is not completely objective, the objectivity of blood flow evaluation is expected to improve by quantification of fluorescence signals. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy of quantitative assessment of blood flow using ICG-FI with the SPY-QP software program in rectal cancer surgery.

Introduction: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication after colorectal surgery. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) allows real-time perfusion assessment and may reduce leak rates; however, recent larger randomized clinical trials reported conflicting results. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify the effectiveness of ICG-FA in reducing anastomotic leakage and related complications following minimally invasive colorectal surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and outcomes of radical resection combined with in vivo hypothermic perfusion and intestinal auto-transplantation (IATx) for tumors invading the mesenteric root vascular system.
Background: Radical resection combined with IATx is safe and effective for mesenteric root tumors invading the vascular system. However, classic IATx procedures require removing the mesenteric root tumor as well as the small intestine and ascending colon for ex vivo hypothermic perfusion.
