Abstract and key clinical message
Using indocyanine green (ICG), a standard reagent used in liver function
tests, bile leaks from exfoliated liver sections can be detected with
higher sensitivity than observation with the naked eye. This
presentation will introduce the technique of using ICG to detect bile
leaks that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Key words: indocyanine green, biliary fistula, hepatectomy,
