Utility of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence in Endoscopic Sinonasal and Skull Base Surgery

The endoscope is a device placed into the nasal cavity to remove chronic sinus disease or tumor or create access into the skullbase for extensive tumor removal. Indocyanine Green (ICG) is a dye that is injected through an intravenous site and is used to light up vasculature and margins of a tumor during surgery. This helps avoid damage to important vasculature and obtain clear margins during surgery. This study aims to further assess the utility of ICG when operating within the nasal cavity or skullbase.
