Conditions

hepatic tumors

Interventions

The included patients will undergo NIRF-assisted liver surgery with the use of ICG. ICG will be administered 12-24 hours before surgery in a dose of 0,15mg/kg or just after induction of anesthesia i

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The ability to visualize right, left hepatic ducts and the common hepatic duct simultaneously, with localization of the hepatic duct confluence duct using NIRF imaging. This will be scored by the operating surgeon before and after selective portal pedicle clamping using a scale from 1-5. In this scale; 1 means no fluorescent signal visible, 2 some signal visible but very hard to see, up to 5 where there is a very clear fluorescent signal that provides excellent distinction between the biliary structures and the surroundings. Also, the target to background ratio will be calculated to quantify the fluorescence intensity of the cystic ducts compared to the liver. In this, the two arms will be compared (injection of ICG 24h before surgery versus during induction of anaesthesia)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Visibility of liver metastasis (also on a scale from 1 to 5); - Time between cholecystectomy and the surgeon being confident where to transect the hepatic duct; - Total surgical time, measured from incision until first stitch; - Bile duct injury; - Postoperative length of hospital stay (number of night admitted after surgery); - Complications due to the intravenously injected contrast agent; - Postoperative complications until 30 days after surgery.
