Summary

This study evaluates the diagnostic value of the addition of indocyanine green and near infrared fluorescence imaging during laparoscopy in patients with suspected endometriosis.

Detailed description

Endometriosis is a public health problem with an increasing incidence and various symptoms. Surgical treatment reliefs pain and improves fertility by radically removing endometriotic lesions. However, peritoneal endometriotic lesions may vary significantly in their appearance in standard white light laparoscopy and therefore may be difficult to be identified. Because endometriosis is associated with hypervascularisation the visualization of tissue perfusion by additional use of near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) may improve the detection of peritoneal endometriotic lesions.

TypeNameDescription
DRUGIndocyanine GreenIndocyanine green is administered intra-venous after dilution with water in a peripheral vein at a dosage of 0.3mg/kg body weight as a bolus injection. The injection will take place during surgery. By using NIR fluorescence imaging ICG is made visible.
