Core Tip
Core Tip: During laparoscopic hepatectomy guided by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, tumor fluorescence usually manifests as total fluorescence, partial fluorescence, or rim fluorescence. However, surgeons occasionally encounter liver segment or subsegment fluorescence due to the tumor compressing the bile duct and local cholestasis. Despite malignant infiltration, stone compression and tumor thrombi in the bile duct can also cause this rare phenomenon. Complete removal of the lesions together with the fluorescent liver segment may help reduce the risk of tumor relapse, which can be called functional anatomical hepatectomy.
