Patient enrolment process. Ninety-three patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy were identified: 23 underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with indocyanine green (ICG group) and 70 underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (non-ICG group) (A). After the propensity score matching (PSM), 63 patients were enrolled. The patient characters have and uneven distribution between both groups; however, after PSM, there were no significant differences in the ICG and non-ICG groups (B)
