Laparoscopic hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is performed worldwide. However, owing to a lack of palpatory information and difficulties associated with accurate intraoperative ultrasonographic diagnosis, the tumor may be exposed at the hepatic transection margin. This study aimed to investigate the pathological significance of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG)-guided laparoscopic hepatectomy and determine its usefulness in securing the resection margin for CRLMs.
