Abstract

A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of choice for the patients with gall bladder diseases requiring a cholecystectomy. The addition of intra-operative cholangiography was suggested to decrease the risk of the complications associated with this procedure, especially the extra-hepatic biliary tract injuries.
This work is to report the successful use of the indocyanine green enhanced fluorescence-guided laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the first time in Ain-Shams University Hospitals, on the 2nd of July 2018. This procedure was done for a 28 years old female patient suffering of chronic calcular cholecystitis. The technique facilitated easier identification of the extrahepatic biliary system and assessment for bile leakage, if present, at the end of the procedure. The patient had no intraoperative or postoperative complications, with good recovery.
