Abstract

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography might be useful for assessing patients undergoing lymphatic surgery for secondary lymphedema. The present clinical trial aimed to confirm whether ICG fluorescent lymphography would be useful in evaluating lymphedema, identifying lymphatic vessels suitable for anastomosis, and confirming patency of lymphaticovenular anastomosis in patients with secondary lymphedema.
