Abstract
INTRODUCTION The level of recommendation of the robotic approach in liver surgery is controversial. The objective of the study is to carry out a single-center retrospective descriptive analysis of the short-term results of the robotic and laparoscopic approach in liver surgery during the same period. METHODS Descriptive analysis of the short-term results of the robotic and laparoscopic approach on 220 resections in 182 patients undergoing minimally invasive liver surgery. RESULTS Between April 2018 and June 2022, a total of 92 robotic liver resections (RLR) were performed in 83 patients and 128 laparoscopic (LLR) in 99 patients. The LLR group showed a higher proportion of major surgery (P < .001) and multiple resections (P = .002). The two groups were similar in anatomical resections (RLR 64.1% vs. LLR 56.3%). In the LLS group, the average operating time was 212 min (SD 52.1). Blood loss was 276.5 mL (100-1000) and conversion 12.1%. Mean hospital stay was 5.7 (SD 4.9) days. Morbidity was 27.3% and 2% mortality. In the RLS group, the mean operative time was 217 min (SD 53.6), blood loss 169.5 mL (100.900), and conversion 2.5%. Mean hospital stay was 4.1 (SD 2.1) days. Morbidity was 15%, with no mortality. CONCLUSION Minimally invasive liver surgery is a safe technique, and in particular, RLS allows liver resections to be performed safely and reproducibly; it appears to be a non-inferior technique to LLS, but randomized studies are needed to determine the minimally invasive approach of choice in liver surgery.

Real-time Navigation for Vascularized Lymph-node Transplantation Using Projection Mapping with Indocyanine Green Fluorescence. Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open 2023; 11:e4743. [PMID: 36776586 PMCID: PMC9911207 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000004743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The medical imaging projection system (MIPS) is a real-time surgical navigation device using indocyanine green (ICG) emission signals and active projection mapping. The difference between the object and the projected image is within 1 mm, and the time lag is within 0.1 seconds. We herein report the application of the MIPS to vascularized lymph-node transplantation (VLNT) surgery for lower extremity lymphedema to detect inguinal lymph nodes and perform color-coded navigation surgery for lymph-node resection. A left superficial inguinal lymph node was planned to be used as a donor for VLNT to the right lower leg in a 73-year-old woman with lower extremity lymphedema. Under general anesthesia, multiple intradermal injections of 0.1 ml of ICG were administered around the left inguinal donor site. The MIPS showed a clear linear projection image from a lateral injected point connecting to a lateral superficial inguinal lymph node. The left superficial circumflex iliac artery and vein were dissected for vascularized VLNT. Intraoperative real-time MIPS navigation continuously guided the transection plane colored by ICG fluorescence signals without shifting the visual focus from the surgical field. This is the first report of the intraoperative use of ICG projection mapping for VLNT donor-site surgery. The MIPS was able to visualize functional lymph nodes to facilitate minimally invasive donor-site surgery.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Despite recent advances in multimodal optical imaging, oral imaging systems often do not provide real-time actionable guidance to the clinician who is making biopsy and treatment decisions. AIM We demonstrate a low-cost, portable active biopsy guidance system (ABGS) that uses multimodal optical imaging with deep learning to directly project cancer risk and biopsy guidance maps onto oral mucosa in real time. APPROACH Cancer risk maps are generated based on widefield autofluorescence images and projected onto the at-risk tissue using a digital light projector. Microendoscopy images are obtained from at-risk areas, and multimodal image data are used to calculate a biopsy guidance map, which is projected onto tissue. RESULTS Representative patient examples highlight clinically actionable visualizations provided in real time during an imaging procedure. Results show multimodal imaging with cancer risk and biopsy guidance map projection offers a versatile, quantitative, and precise tool to guide biopsy site selection and improve early detection of oral cancers. CONCLUSIONS The ABGS provides direct visible guidance to identify early lesions and locate appropriate sites to biopsy within those lesions. This represents an opportunity to translate multimodal imaging into real-time clinically actionable visualizations to help improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background The Medical Imaging Projection System (MIPS) projects indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence images directly on the surgical field using a projection mapping technique. We conducted an observational study of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy using the prototype MIPS; we found a high identification rate. However, the number of SLN-positive cases was small, and the sensitivity could not be evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of the MIPS assisted ICG fluorescence method using commercially available equipment. Methods This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with primary breast cancer who underwent SLN biopsy using the MIPS at Kyoto University Hospital from April to December 2020 were included in the study. The primary endpoints were the identification rate of SLNs and detection of positive SLNs by the MIPS. The secondary endpoint was the number of SLNs excised using the MIPS per patient. We also conducted a questionnaire survey focused on the utility of the MIPS; it involved doctors with an experience in using the MIPS. Results Seventy-nine patients (84 procedures) were included in the study. In 60 (71%) procedures, both the radioisotope (RI) method and MIPS were used. At least one SLN could be detected by the MIPS in all the procedures, with an identification rate of 100% (95% confidence interval 95.6–100%). A total of 19 (7%) positive SLNs were removed, which were identifiable by the MIPS. Among 57 patients in whom the MIPS and RI methods were used, there was no positive SLN only identified by the RI method. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the MIPS enabled the operator and assistant to share the ICG fluorescence image in the surgical field and to communicate with each other easily. Conclusion The current study demonstrated that the identification rate of SLNs using the MIPS was high, and the MIPS can be used for detecting positive SLNs. It was suggested that the MIPS will be useful in learning SLN biopsy procedures.

Abstract
Background The naked-eye invisibility of indocyanine green fluorescence limits the application of near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR) systems for real-time navigation during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a novel NIR system in visualizing indocyanine green fluorescence images in the surgical field and the application value of combined methylene blue (MB) and the novel NIR system in SLNB. Methods Sixty patients with clinical node-negative breast cancer received indocyanine green (ICG) and MB as tracers. Two NIR system instruments, namely, lymphatic fluorescence imaging system (LFIS) designed by the University of Science and Technology of China and vascular imager by Langfang Mingde Medical Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Langfang vascular imager), were used as navigation assistance to locate sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Excising the lymph nodes developed by both MB and ICG by two NIR systems or palpably suspicious as SLNs and undergoing rapid pathological examination. Results Both instruments exhibited 95% (57/60) success for real-time lymphatic fluorescent images. A total of 186 SLNs were identified, of which two were pathologically confirmed as lacking any lymph node tissue. SLN identification rate was 100% (184/184) for MB plus LFIS and 86.96% (160/184) for MB alone. The median number of SLNs identified by LFIS combined with MB was 3 (range of 1–8), which was significantly higher than that by MB alone at 2 (range 1–7) (P<0.05). Conclusion LFIS effectively detects SLNs in breast cancer, projects the fluorescence signals during surgery, and provides a continuous surgical navigation system without the need for a remote monitor. The ICG method navigated by combined LFIS and MB may be a promising alternative tracer for radioisotope in SLN mapping. Clinical Trial Registration This clinical trial was registered with the China Clinical Trial Center, registration number ChiCTR2000039542.

Abstract
Background A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a routine procedure for axillary staging in cN0 breast cancer (BC) patients. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence can detect sentinel lymph nodes with higher sensitivity than carbon nanoparticle suspension (CNS). The present study investigated the availability and benefits of a near-infrared (NIR) laparoscopy-assisted SLNB using ICG and carbon nanoparticle suspension as tracers. Methods Forty patients with invasive BC, who had clinically negative axillary lymph nodes, participated in this observational study. ICG and CNS tracers were injected into the periareolar region simultaneously or sequentially. In the endoscopy-assisted group (n=20), the patients were given NIR laparoscopic SLNB based on ICG fluorescence and CNS staining. In the open-surgery group, the patients were given traditional SLNB using an open incision, and CNS tracers were injected into the same region as that in the endoscopy-assisted group. Results In the endoscopy-assisted group, lymphatic vessels and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) were successfully identified using ICG fluorescence imaging in most patients (19/20). The average number of SLNs removed was 2.85 (range, 1-4) in the endoscopy-assisted group, and 3.40 (range, 1-7) in the open-surgery group. There was no significant difference between the number of detected nodes (P=0.30). The patients who underwent endoscopy-assisted SLNBs had similar operating times, blood loss and hospital-stay lengths, but lower postoperative drainage volumes and higher satisfaction scores, as they did not have axillary incisions. Conclusions The NIR laparoscopy-assisted ICG-guided technique is a feasible and surgeon-friendly method for SLNB with good efficacy and acceptable safety. When combined with CNS, more SLNs can be detected and dissected.

Abstract
Molecular imaging (MI) is a science that uses imaging methods to reflect the changes of molecular level in living state and conduct qualitative and quantitative studies on its biological behaviors in imaging. Optical molecular imaging (OMI) and nuclear medical imaging are two key research fields of MI. OMI technology refers to the optical information generated by the imaging target (such as tumors) due to drug intervention and other reasons. By collecting the optical information, researchers can track the motion trajectory of the imaging target at the molecular level. Owing to its high specificity and sensitivity, OMI has been widely used in preclinical research and clinical surgery. Nuclear medical imaging mainly detects ionizing radiation emitted by radioactive substances. It can provide molecular information for early diagnosis, effective treatment and basic research of diseases, which has become one of the frontiers and hot topics in the field of medicine in the world today. Both OMI and nuclear medical imaging technology require a lot of data processing and analysis. In recent years, artificial intelligence technology, especially neural network-based machine learning (ML) technology, has been widely used in MI because of its powerful data processing capability. It provides a feasible strategy to deal with large and complex data for the requirement of MI. In this review, we will focus on the applications of ML methods in OMI and nuclear medical imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation has been adapted for anatomic liver resection (AR) but an objective method for evaluation of its validity is required. This pilot study aimed to propose a new method to evaluate the accuracy of parenchymal division along the plane between hepatic segments and estimate the real-time navigation efficacy for AR by the Medical Imaging Projection System (MIPS), which continuously demonstrates the transection plane using projection mapping with ICG fluorescence. METHODS Ten patients who underwent open AR using liver segmentation with ICG fluorescence technique between August 2016 and July 2019 were included: six patients under MIPS guidance (MIPS group), while four using only conventional ICG fluorescence technique before parenchymal resection (non-MIPS group). Densitometry of the captured fluorescence image was performed to evaluate the fluorescence area ratio of each transection plane. The accurate fluorescence area ratio was calculated by subtracting the fluorescence area rate on the resected side from that on the remnant side. RESULTS The accurate fluorescence area ratio of the MIPS group and the non-MIPS group was 23.0 ± 12.6% and 5.6 ± 9.5%, respectively (P = .038). CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of our new method, real-time navigation using the MIPS may facilitate performing AR along the plane between hepatic segments.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) can be successfully performed using methylene blue (MB); however, this method still has some drawbacks. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, as a selective method, has the potential for guiding SLNB. This study aimed to compare the clinical sensitivity and efficacy between ICG and MB in SLNB in breast cancer. Methods A prospective study of 70 patients with biopsy-proven invasive breast cancer was conducted. Under the guidance of ICG and MB, administered by injection, SLNs were examined and removed. The detection rates, total number of SLNs detected, mean number of SLNs detected, and number of positive SLNs were compared between ICG and MB. Results The SLN detection rate was 100% and 93% (65/70) for ICG and MB, respectively. More SLNs were detected in the ICG group (243) than in the MB group (169). The mean number of SLNs detected with ICG and MB was 3.5±1.73 and 2.4±1.49, respectively. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the number of SLNs detected using the two methods (t=6.648, P<0.05). Additionally, SLN metastasis was detected in 18 patients using ICG and 14 patients using MB; these patients immediately underwent axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). No postoperative complications were reported. Conclusions ICG demonstrated a higher detection rate and better accuracy, as well as a lower false negative rate, than MB in detecting SLNs in breast cancer. ICG has potential as an alternative tool that could be clinically applied to detect SLNs in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
The 'standard of care' method for sentinel node mapping is the combination technique using radioisotope and blue dye although some centres use radioisotope or blue dye alone. Radioisotope usage requires licensing, has regulatory issues around handling and disposal of waste, and logistically may be unavailable or difficult to implement in some centres or less developed country. This has led to the development of alternative methods such as superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), fluorescence techniques using indocyanine green (ICG) or fluorescein, computed tomography lymphography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound scan (CEUS) using microbubbles. The newer techniques will potentially enable a more widespread adoption of this procedure; however, a common barrier for these techniques is the lack of standardisation and no randomised trials to evaluate their effectiveness against the current standard of care. Furthermore, many of these techniques are more costly and may become redundant in node-negative patients with small tumours if ongoing trials show that sentinel node biopsy offers no additional benefit to grey-scale axillary ultrasound. This review discusses the new techniques for sentinel node mapping that have emerged including their pros and cons.
