Indocyanine Green-Guided Versus Standard Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Body and Tail Lesions

Comparing two techniques for pancreatic surgery: green dye vs. standard.

Phase N/A

This study compares two types of surgeries for pancreas tumors: one using a special dye called **Indocyanine Green (ICG)** with a special light to help see blood flow and one without it. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is a surgery to remove part of the pancreas, and it can cause a problem called a **postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF)**, which is a leak that can make you sick or keep you in the hospital longer. The study's main goal is to see if using the ICG dye and light can help reduce this leak problem. Adults 18 years or older who need this surgery can join, and they will be randomly assigned to either the group using the dye or the group not using it.

  • The study lasts 90 days after surgery to check for complications.
  • Participants will be randomly placed in either group with the same care in both.
  • All participants must agree to follow up and provide written consent.
