Optical imaging using near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence provides new prospects for general and oncologic surgery. ICG is currently utilised in NIR fluorescence cancer‐related surgery for three indications: sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping, intraoperative identification of solid tumours, and angiography during reconstructive surgery. Therefore, understanding its advantages and limitations is of significant importance. Although non‐targeted and non‐conjugatable, ICG appears to be laying the foundation for more widespread use of NIR fluorescence‐guided surgery. J. Surg.
