Ultrasound-guided anatomical liver resection using a compression technique combined with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging

Anatomical resection (AR) is a recommended surgical treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the conventional procedure (dye injection) for AR is difficult to reproduce. As an alternative, the tumour-feeding portal pedicle compression technique (finger-compression technique) has been proposed as an easy and reversible procedure. Here, we propose a new method combining indocyanine green (ICG) imaging with the finger-compression...
