Retrospective study investigates indocyanine green fluorescence angiography effectiveness in preventing anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery, suggesting clinical implications.
Background: Several studies have reported the potential effectiveness of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) for preventing anastomotic leakage (AL) in rectal cancer surgery; however, its clinical benefit remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ICG-FA in rectal cancer surgery in Japan using real-world data.
