Experience with fluorescence imaging in robot-assisted treatment of deep genital endometriosis using the da Vinci surgical system
This study evaluated robot-assisted deep genital endometriosis treatment using indocyanine green fluorescence, finding it enhanced visualization of hidden lesions, aiding complete excision and improving patient outcomes.

This study evaluated robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci system combined with intraoperative fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) in 39 patients with severe deep infiltrating genital endometriosis, analyzing operative metrics, complications, and the detection of “hidden” endometriosis foci not visible in standard white light. After ICG infusion, endometriosis lesions fluoresced green with clear boundaries in all patients, and the fluorescence remained adequate for about 50 minutes; in 74.4% of cases, residual lesions seen only on fluorescence were biopsied, with histology confirming endometriosis in 85% of specimens. Limitations noted by implication include the small, single-center dataset and the observational nature of reported outcomes without a control comparator. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically the use of ICG fluorescence to improve detection and completeness of resection in deep genital endometriosis during robotic surgery.
