Introduction: Gastric cancer is a common malignancy of the digestive system, primarily metastasizing through lymph nodes.Adequate node dissection crucial for accurate staging and improving prognosis.However, complex distribution nodes around stomach poses significant challenges thorough dissection.Aim: This study aims to evaluate efficacy safety laparoscopic radical gastrectomy guided by subserosal injection indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in gastric cancer.Materials Methods: retrospective analyzed 20 patients who underwent distal at Wenzhou People's Hospital from January 2020 December 2022.10 conventional surgery, 10 surgery ICG fluorescence.The two groups were propensity-matched based on gender, age, preoperative staging.Data collected included basic patient information, data, perioperative outcomes (e.g., operative time, blood loss, postoperative complications). Results:The results indicated that total number dissected was significantly higher group compared group, particularly No. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11p.The differences statistically (P < 0.005).There no between terms incidence complications > 0.05). Conclusion:This preliminary demonstrates using imaging minimally invasive can increase without increasing surgical risk.
