Abstract

Radical surgery for gastric cancer remains the only reliable therapeutic tool and cornerstone for definitive treatment. With improving resectability, patients are given a better opportunity for long-term survival. Indocyanine green (ICG) is able to define more precisely the boundaries of the tumor in early and advanced gastric cancer. In addition, it can noticeably improve lymph node dissection and reduce the risk of subsequent complications. In this paper we present our experience with laparoscopic gastrectomy together with a review of the available literature.
