Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guidance in Paediatric Surgery: An International Survey

Respondent and centre details

Dear Colleague,
This survey is conducted by the EUPSA Network Office, and we warmly invite all paediatric surgical departments to participate. We kindly ask that one representative from each hospital completes the survey on behalf of their department.
The aim of this survey is to evaluate the current use and adoption of indocyanine green fluorescence-guided surgery (ICG-FGS) in paediatric surgery and paediatric urology. Specifically, we seek to understand access to fluorescence imaging technology, current clinical applications, variation in practice (including protocols, dosing, and consent), and barriers to adoption and expansion.
This survey represents the initial step in the development of a prospective international multicentre study on the use of ICG fluorescence in children. The survey should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete. Please answer as accurately as possible on behalf of your centre; if exact data are unavailable, your best estimate is appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and contribution.
