| Research Abstract |
We investigated of development of a novel method of identifying adjacent lung segments according to blood flow using indocyanine green (ICG) with infrared thoracoscopy (IRT). We decide the dose of ICG from the study, and proved the transition zone reflecting by this method as the intersegmental plane. We attempted a clinical trial of segmentectomy using this method under the approval of Kagawa university hospital review board, and informed consent obtained from all patients. IRT with ICG makes it possible to identify the target segment very easily and quickly without the need for inflation.
