This study examines the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in pediatric patients using a national database. The results show that ICG is being increasingly utilized in various surgical disciplines such as neurosurgery, biliary, perfusion, urology, gastrointestinal, ophthalmology, and thoracic surgery. The utilization of ICG has increased over time, with a few high-volume centers accounting for a majority of the cases.
Background: Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) with indocyanine green (ICG) is a rapidly diffusing surgical innovation, but its utilization in pediatrics remains unknown. We present a cross-sectional descriptive analysis of trends from a national database. Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database was queried for patient encounters between January 2016 and July 2021 with an associated ICG administration within 3 days prior to surgery. All procedure codes from each encounter were reviewed by two surgeons to determine the most likely associated FGS procedure and assign an operative category. Results: 1270 encounters were identified from 38 participating hospitals. The mean patient age (SD) was 8.3 (6.4) years, 54.5% were male, 63.8% were white, and 30.1% were Hispanic. The most common categories for ICG use were neurosurgery (21.3%), biliary (18.3%), perfusion (14.8%), urology (12.5%), gastrointestinal (10.8%), ophthalmology (8.8%), and thoracic (5.6%). Utilization over time increased for some categories (thoracic,visceral perfusion, and neurological procedures) or remained stable for other categories. Overall ICG utilization has increased in 2020 (n = 314) compared to 2016 (N = 83). The number of centers utilizing ICG has also increased from 14 hospitals in 2016 to 29 hospitals in 2020 though adoption remains unevenly distributed, with 5 high-utilization hospitals accounting for 56.8% of all ICG FGS cases. Conclusion: ICG is being used across a wide variety of pediatric surgical disciplines. Trends over time show increasingly frequent adoption across the country, with a few high-volume centers driving the innovation. Fluorescence-guided surgery is commercially available and is becoming more commonplace for pediatric surgeons. Dedicated efforts will now be needed to assess outcomes using this promising technology. Level of evidence: Level IV. Study type: Retrospective study.
