Abstract

A variety of lymphatic imaging techniques have been developed, but no technique can provide real-time imaging except for indocyanine green fluorescent lymphography (ICG-LG). The real-time images of ICG-LG make lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) easy to perform. In this chapter, history and methods of ICG-LG for LVA are described in detail.
