Indocyanine Green–Guided Near-Infrared Fluorescence Enhances Vascular Anatomy in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest
William Nelson, Daniel Murariu, Andréa Moreira
Abstract
SUMMARY: Indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest. This article presents a new approach to deep epigastric pedicle dissection using indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence in the setting of robot-assisted deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps.
