Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic para‐aortic lymphadenectomy for rectal cancer with para‐aortic lymph node metastasis—a video vignette.

Para-aortic lymph node (PALN) metastasis is a rare pattern of systemic metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) [[1]]. In Video S1, we present a novel application of NIR/ICG imaging during laparoscopic PALN dissection to prevent incomplete dissection of metachronous PALN metastases from rectal cancer.
