Description
ICG is paving the way for the future of minimally invasive soft tissue surgery in small animals.
The overall objective of the Webinar is to identify when NIRF Technology can help in tumour resection, skin reconstruction and as a guide for sentinel lymph node resection.
Specifically, a surgical procedure will be performed for the removal of a skin tumour with a reconstructive technique, guided by indocyanine green (ICG) in the isolation of the reconstructive flap.
During the same procedure, the neoplastic sentinel lymph node will be located using an ICG tracer and will be removed with a laparoscopic technique if identified intra-abdominally, or, conversely, thoracoscopically if intrathoracic.

Learning Objectives
- Delegates will be able to evaluate the precise skin selection during a skin flap preparation to cover an oncologic defect after tumour resection.
- Delegates will be able to evaluate the different intensity on different mapping and signals for ICG.
- Delegates will learn dose, sites of injection and timing for a sentinel lymph node mappin.
- Delegates will be able to classify different doses and time of injection of the dial for visualization of the skin flap.
- What are the overall benefits of NIRF in veterinary oncological and soft tissue surgery.
- How does NIRF impact the surgical outcomes of veterinary patients undergoing oncological and soft tissue surgery.
- Using NIRF technology as a guide for sentinel lymph node resection in our veterinary patients.
- Identify how NIRF technology can be used in skin reconstruction of our veterinary patients.
- Identify how NIRF technology can assist in tumour resection in our veterinary patients.
