Why the study?
Does indocyanine green-enhanced fluorescent angiography improve assessment of bowel perfusion and affect anastomotic leak rates in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection?
Does indocyanine green-enhanced fluorescent angiography improve assessment of bowel perfusion and affect anastomotic leak rates in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resection?
ICG-enhanced fluorescence may help assess bowel perfusion during colorectal surgery and potentially reduce anastomotic leaks, though further randomized trials are needed.
May guide perfusion assessment in colorectal resections; leaves open leak reduction benefit pending RCTs.
ICG-enhanced fluorescent angiography provides useful intraoperative information about the vascular perfusion during colorectal surgery and may lead to change the site of resection and/or anastomosis, possibly affecting the anastomotic leak rate. Larger further randomized prospective trials are needed to validate this new technique.
