Fluorescence-Guided Surgery (FGS) during a Laparoscopic Redo Nissen Fundoplication: The First Case in Children
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The introductory part should be developed and more references included. It would be interesting to introduce some historical data on the introduction of ICG in surgery.
Case presentation: Some ethical considerations should be mentioned. Aspects of informed consent regarding the publication of the case are mandatory. Being a minor patient, the consent of a legal tutor is needed.
Disscussion part should be expanded. Some aspects regarding the most frequent uses of ICG are needed (biliary surgery, colorectal surgery). Cite: Serban D, Badiu DC, Davitoiu D, et al.

It is necessary to include several references.

Reviewer 2 Report
This is an excellent paper with novelty value and of great interest to pediatric surgeons. The case description is clear. I miss no keynote references. The method described should be tested by others.

Reviewer 3 Report
At the outset, I would like to congratulate the authors on a well-managed case. Several complications can occur during redo-fundoplication.
Introduction: well-written.No changes are needed.
Description of case: The case is very well described. The intraoperative images are of good quality. No changes are needed.
Discussion: I have only one comment. This is the first case description in children. However, ICG usage has been described for redo-fundoplication in the adult population in a few studies. It will be very insightful for the readers to have that one knowledge. I would like the authors to highlight the same in one paragraph.
