Summary
Indo-cyanine green (ICG) is a dye that has been used for a variety of adult and paediatric
uses since 1956. Over the past few years, near infrared (NIRF) technology has been developed
which allow is use as a fluorescence agent during surgery. It has been used increasingly in
the field of adult oncology surgery and has been shown to increase the efficacy of this
surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of NIRF and ICG during specific minimally
invasive surgery (MIS) procedures within paediatric oncology surgery. Their use will
complement existing surgical techniques rather than replace them.
Given the published advantages in adults this study aims to provide evidence of feasibility
in the paediatric patients with cancer.
