Core Tip	Near infrared fluorescence (NIF) technique using indocyanine green can be used in estimation of intestinal vascularization to detect areas of poor perfusion for preventing anastomotic leakage, the visualization of sentinel lymphatic drainage and peritoneal metastases, and the detection of ureters in order to reduce the risk of iatrogenic ureteral lesions in colorectal surgery. Additionally, this technique can be used in identifying suspected lymph nodes and preventing their incomplete dissection during lateral pelvic lymph node dissection and D3 lymphadenectomy for rectal cancer and right-sided colon cancer, respectively, and in identification of the vascular system round the major vessels. We have applied the NIF technique to colorectal cancer surgery since we report 3 cases in which rectal cancer patients underwent robotic low anterior resection with NIF imaging for the first time in Asia in 2013.
