Purpose/Background: This study evaluated the impact of fluorescence lymph node mapping (FLNM) using indocyanine green (ICG) on the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative computed tomography (CT) in right-sided colon cancer.

Methods/Interventions: A total of 218 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with D3 lymph node dissection (LND) were analyzed: 86 patients in the FLNM group and 132 in the conventional surgery group. The FLNM technique allowed for enhanced intraoperative visualization of lymph node (LN) and more precise dissection, improving the identification of metastatic LNs. The diagnostic value of preoperative CT staging was assessed in both the FLNM and control groups by calculating the apparent prevalence, true prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio, false positive and false negative proportions, and accuracy.

Results/Outcomes: FLNM increased the accuracy of CT staging for detecting D3 LN metastasis in advanced cancer cases, with a higher PPV, PLR, and accuracy. In the FLNM group, the false-positive rate was significantly reduced, and the specificity was higher compared to the control group. Multivariate analysis identified FLNM as an independent factor associated with improved D3 LN metastasis detection. These findings suggest that incorporating FLNM into surgical procedures enhances the diagnostic value of preoperative CT by improving the precision of LND, particularly in patients with advanced colon cancer.

Conclusion/Discussion: The use of FLNM for D3 LND enhances the diagnostic accuracy of cN staging in right-sided colon cancer by improving surgical precision.
