RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the application of indocyanine green fluorescence navigation in open cholecystectomy. Methods: Forty-eight patients with extrahepatic cholangiography who underwent open cholecystectomy in our hospital from March 2016 to February 2018 were enrolled. They were divided into the control group (24 cases) and the experimental group (24 cases) by using the random number table method. The control group was treated with conventional X-ray cholangiopancreatography, and the experimental group was treated with indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging for extrahepatic cholangiography. The cholangiography success rate, cholangiography time, cholangiography economic costs, imaging accuracy and security were compared between two groups. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion amount, length of hospital stays, and hospital expenses were also compared between two groups. Results: The success rate of cholangiography (98.62% vs 97.22%) and the incidence of adverse reactions (25.00 vs 29.17) were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). The cholangiography time (25.69±3.47 min vs 31.42±4.66 min), operation time (90.18±10.27 min vs 81.44±9.35 min), intraoperative blood loss (82.35±8.24 ml vs 78.14±7.82 ml), blood transfusion volume (35.19±4.77 ml vs 29.58±4.03 ml), hospitalization time (7.59±1.52 d vs 6.24±1.25 d), and hospitalization cost (12.7±3.1 thousands vs 10.4±2.5 thousands) of the experimental group were significant lower than those of the control group. The accuracy rate (92.22% vs 87.50%), sensitivity (85.71% vs 50.00%) and specificity (88.24% vs 68.75%) of cholangiography in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescent navigation is more timely and accurate than traditional X-ray cholangiography during temporary angiography in open cholecystectomy, which can effectively shorten the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion, hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses. It does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions, has high safety, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
