Use of Indocyanine Green in Acute Cholecystitis

Prospective, controlled, randomized and multicenter clinical trial comparing conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy with preoperative indocyanine green administration in patients with an indication for urgent cholecystectomy due to acute cholecystitis (of any etiology), at the Parc Taulí University Hospital and at the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital. Parallel group randomization (1:1) will be performed by opening sealed envelopes, with random assignment between the two groups (intervention and control). The same number of envelopes will be assigned to the study and control group, all of them sealed and placed at random. A four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be performed by a team of surgeons with extensive experience in emergency and/or hepatobiliopancreatic surgery, according to standard techniques and safety measures. Randomization will be carried out at the time of the indication for surgery, after acceptance and signing of the informed consent once all the inclusion criteria are met.
