Abstract
Background: This study explored the feasibility and effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG)-based near-infrared fluorescence (NIF) imaging for localizing bone lesions associated with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) during surgical intervention.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 68 patients who underwent surgical treatment for MRONJ at a single institution between January 2021 and April 2024. Among them, 14 patients received surgery guided by NIF imaging, while the remaining patients underwent surgery without NIF guidance. Postoperative follow-up was performed to assess clinical outcomes.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, medication type and duration, underlying disease, lesion location, clinical stage, concomitant symptoms, or surgical approach. NIF imaging remained stable in 14 patients who underwent MRONJ fluorescence surgery. The recurrence rate was lower in the NIF group (14.29%) than in the non-NIF group (27.78%). The difference in the recurrence-free survival curves between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.043).
Conclusion: ICG-mediated NIF imaging provides a reliable method for identifying MRONJ-related bone lesions and offers valuable intraoperative guidance, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
