AB - IntroductionLaparoscopic hepatectomy for malignant liver tumors has gained widespread acceptance due to advances in surgical techniques and improvements in laparoscopic and photographic instruments [1]. Clinical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy, however, are limited by the inability to directly palpate the tumor, hindering accurate tumor localization. Furthermore, although intraoperative ultrasound is useful in open procedures, it can present handling difficulties in laparoscopic settings, limiting its effectiveness in detecting tumors [2].Advances in laparoscopic cameras, along with the development of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, have expanded the application of these technologies in surgery, enhancing the precision and safety of various procedures, including laparoscopic hepatectomy. ICG fluorescence imaging has enabled the real‐time visualization of liver tumors, biliary anatomy, and intersegmental planes [3–6]. This method was found to be especially useful in localizing tumors and securing safe resection margins, providing a clear advantage over traditional imaging methods in laparoscopic surgery [7].In certain cases, the ICG fluorescent rim becomes visible on the liver resection plane, offering real‐time guidance for surgeons in determining the precise transection line (Figure 1). This guidance plays a vital role in maintaining safe margins while accurately resecting tumors. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical significance of
