Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging has been widely used in hepatobiliary surgery, which can guide accurate hepatectomy and improve the prognosis of patients. Lipiodol–indocyanine green emulsion as a pure physical way to prepare lipiodol-drug mixed solvent can be used for primary interventional embolization and subsequent fluorescence-guided hepatectomy. In this paper, the application of iodized oil-indocyanine green emulsion in hepatectomy was summarized by reviewing relevant research progress at home and abroad, and further discussion and prospect were made.
