Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to first apply near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology in thoracic surgery with indocyanine green in China. To evaluate the feasibility usage of the investigators' fluorescence imaging systems and the safety applications in intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping of lung and esophageal cancer, lung nodule imaging, lung segment resection boundary determination, esophagus - tubular anastomosis, thoracic duct imaging and chylothorax repairing thoracic surgery. Aim to achieve precise boundaries definition during thoracic surgery and realize accurate, minimally invasive thoracic surgery with fluorescence imaging technology.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Indocyanine green
- description
- This group of patients under general anesthesia to accept conventional thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. Before systematic lymphadenectomy, four-point of ICG with 10mg was injected in normal lung tissue around the tumor. After 3-5 minutes, fluorescence and white-light images were collected and recorded in real-time. With the guidance of intraoperative images, all fluorescent lymph nodes were removed and sent to routine pathological confirmation.
