| Core Tip |
The accuracy of lymph node dissection is crucial for reducing postoperative complications and mortality in gastric cancer (GC). Indocyanine green fluorescence staining, as a clinical tracer technique, plays an important role in GC surgery. It enables accurate tumor localization, enhances the thoroughness of lymph node dissection, and facilitates assessment of anastomotic blood supply following digestive tract reconstruction. These functions contribute to improved surgical outcomes and reduced recurrence rates. This review highlights the safety and efficacy of indocyanine green as a tracer, which is expected to enhance surgical precision and improve patient prognosis in GC. |
