Indocyanine green (ICG), a fluorescent dye, has been making significant strides in the field of laparoscopic surgery. It has revolutionized the way surgeons visualize and assess tissue, leading to improved surgical outcomes and patient care.   The Power of ICG Fluorescence Imaging in Surgical Visualization ICG is injected intravenously through a filter and rapidly binds to albumin in the bloodstream. When illuminated with near-infrared light, it emits fluorescence, which can

INTRODUCTION:   A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the oesphageal opening of the diaphragm into the chest. This condition can cause discomfort and affect daily life. In this article, we will explore the types, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and management options for hiatus hernia.   What Is Hiatus Hernia? The oesophagus (food pipe) enters the abdomen through the diaphragmatic hiatus, a small opening in the diaphragm. The diaphragm acts as a barr
