Within the other seven studies, 301 patients received ICG-guided surgery. ICG was used for perfusion assessment in all studies. Injury types consisted of traumatic extremity and abdominal injury. All studies reported beneficial effects such as necrosis detection, determination of resection\/debridement margins and reduction of debridement procedures. ICG could improve intraoperative decision-making and significantly decrease postoperative complications. No included studies reported ICG-related complications or adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The available literature regarding the use of ICG-FA in trauma surgery is limited, and comparability is low. Still, the results are promising and show a large potential of ICG-FA for better and more efficient treatment of trauma patients. Further research with larger samples and comparable conditions is thus necessary and highly recommended.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-099755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,23]],"date-time":"2025-05-23T12:00:32Z","timestamp":1748001632000},"page":"e099755","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Current applications of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography in trauma patients and its potential impact: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2936-7922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eline Anna","family":"Breuking","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"},{"name":"Pediatric Surgery, Wilhelmina Children\u2019s Hospital University Medical Centre, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma J","family":"de Fraiture","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David D","family":"Krijgh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karlijn","family":"van Wessem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivar GJM","family":"de Bruin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Falco","family":"Hietbrink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Surgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jetske","family":"Ruiterkamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Surgery, Wilhelmina Children\u2019s Hospital University Medical Centre, Utrecht, Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121223503811000_15.5.e099755.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yoneda H , Takeda S , Saeki M , et al .
