Lymph Node Mapping Via Flourescent Dye in Colon Cancer
Lymph Node Mapping Via the Flourescent Dye ICG in Colon Cancer Through Preoperative Application
Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf
30 participants
May 31, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether lymph nodes draining the region of the carcinoma are located only inside the lines of standard resection or in some percentages are located outside as well. The visualized nodes draining the region of the carcinoma will be correlated to location, fluorescent yes/no and nodal positive/negative. The draining lymph nodes will be visualized using the fluorescent dye indocyanine green.
