Background: the safety and efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) imaging navigational laparoscopic gastrectomy remain controversial. This study is to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of ICG-guided laparoscopic radial gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.
Methods: Consecutive patients with definitive diagnosis of gastric cancer that underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were collected retrospectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) at 1:1 ratio was performed to compare the outcomes of two groups.
Results: A total of 122 qualified patients were divided into ICG group (n=34) and non-ICG group (n=88). PSM yielded 28 patients with comparable baseline characteristics into each group. The number of retrieved lymph node in ICG group was significantly higher than that in non-ICG group (P=0.0196). There was no statistical difference of perioperative, short-term and long-term complications between two groups.
Conclusion: ICG-guided laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is safe and effective, and improves the number of retrieved lymph nodes for patients with gastric cancer.
