More Details: BackgroundThe implementation of indocyanine green (ICG) tracer-guided lymph node dissection is still in the preliminary stages of laparoscopic surgery, and its safety and efficacy for gastric cancer remain unclear.MethodsA systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus to identify relevant subjects from inception to June 2022. The core indicators were the total number of harvested lymph nodes and the safety of the laparoscopic gastrectomy with ICG. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsThirteen studies and 2,027 participants were included (642 for the ICG-group and 1,385 for the non-ICG group). The mean number of lymph nodes dissected in the ICG group was significantly greater than that in the non-ICG group (WMD = 6.24, 95% CI: 4.26 to 8.22, P
