Fluorescence Guided Surgery
Brief summary
This study is exploring whether it's possible to detect paragangliomas (a rare type of tumor) during minimally invasive surgery by using a technique called near-infrared fluorescence imaging, guided by a substance called indocyanine green (ICG). The goal is to see if this method can help surgeons identify and treat paragangliomas more accurately and during minimally invasive procedures.
Interventions
During minimally invasive surgery using intravenous administration of indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence imaging will be applied to identify and treat paragangliomas

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of real-time in-vivo identification of suspected paraganglioma's using Near-Infrared-fluorescence ICG imaging | perioperatively/periprocedurally, within 30 minutes after intravenous administration of the fluorescent dye, up until a maximum of 120 minutes after start of surgery. | The primary outcome of this retrospective study is the ability to visually detect the proportion (%) of suspected pre-operatively identified lesions (paraganglioma) in the abdomen during minimally invasive procedures using Near-Infrared-fluorescence ICG imaging |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy of the detection of suspected lesions using Near-Infrared-fluorescence ICG imaging | Postoperatively, at the moment the definitive pathology result is known, approximately five days after surgery | The secondary outcome of this retrospective study is the accuracy, measured by sensitivity and specificity to identify abdominal paragangliomas using using Near-Infrared-fluorescence ICG imaging |
