Despite the novel and innovative developments in minimal invasive platforms and the expanding indications regarding adrenal surgery, surgeons are still confronted with some obstacles. The use of intraoperative indocyanine green aims to overcome these problems, but there is still limited data and ongoing debates in terms of robot-assisted adrenal surgery. The aim of this article is to discuss the benefit of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for robot-assisted adrenalectomy and provide up-to date data.
