Intracholecystic versus Intravenous Indocyanine Green (ICG) Injection for Biliary Anatomy Evaluation by Fluorescent Cholangiography during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case–Control Study
(1) Background: Fluorescence cholangiography has been proposed as a method for improving the visualization and identification of extrahepatic biliary anatomy in order to possibly reduce injuries and related complications. The most common method of indocyanine green (ICG) administration is the intrav...

description | (1) Background: Fluorescence cholangiography has been proposed as a method for improving the visualization and identification of extrahepatic biliary anatomy in order to possibly reduce injuries and related complications. The most common method of indocyanine green (ICG) administration is the intravenous route, whereas evidence on direct ICG injection into the gallbladder is still quite limited. We aimed to compare the two different methods of ICG administration in terms of the visualization of extrahepatic biliary anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), analyzing differences in the time of visualization, as well as the efficacy, advantages, and disadvantages of both modalities. (2) Methods: A total of 35 consecutive adult patients affected by acute or chronic gallbladder disease were enrolled in this prospective case–control study. Seventeen patients underwent LC with direct gallbladder ICG injection (IC-ICG) and eighteen subjects received intravenous ICG administration (IV-ICG). (3) Results: The groups were comparable with regard to their demographic and perioperative characteristics. The IV-ICG group had a significantly shorter overall operative time compared to the IC-ICG group (p = 0.017). IV-ICG was better at delineating the duodenum and the common hepatic duct compared to the IC-ICG method (p = 0.009 and p = 0.041, respectively). The cystic duct could be delineated pre-dissection in 76.5% and 66.7% of cases in the IC-ICG and IV-ICG group, respectively, and this increased to 88.2% and 83.3% after dissection. The common bile duct could be highlighted in 76.5% and 77.8% of cases in the IC-ICG and IV-ICG group, respectively. Liver fluorescence was present in one case in the IC-ICG group and in all cases after IV-ICG administration (5.8% versus 100%; p < 0.0001). (4) Conclusions: The present study demonstrates how ICG-fluorescence cholangiography can be helpful in identifying the extrahepatic biliary anatomy during dissection of Calot’s triangle in both administration methods. In comparison with intravenous ICG injection, the intracholecystic ICG route could provide a better signal-to-background ratio by avoiding hepatic fluorescence, thus increasing the bile duct-to-liver contrast. |
