Key result
Near-infrared angiography safely assesses real-time bowel perfusion and may reduce anastomotic complications during gynecologic surgery.
Why the study?
Reducing anastomotic leak rates after bowel resection in gynecologic oncology surgery remains a clinical priority, with near-infrared angiography showing promise for real-time bowel perfusion assessment.
Does near-infrared angiography reduce anastomotic leak rates in patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery?
Does near-infrared angiography reduce anastomotic leak rates in patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery?
Near-infrared angiography provides real-time assessment of bowel perfusion during gynecologic oncology surgery, which may help reduce anastomotic leak rates.
Reducing anastomotic leak rates after bowel resection is a priority among patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery. While near-infrared (NIR) angiography has been investigated in the colorectal literature, more recent work has demonstrated promising results when used in gynecologic cancer surgery. It has been repeatedly shown to be a safe intervention that can offer real time assessment of bowel perfusion, offering the surgeon the opportunity to act on the results in the hopes of decreasing the risk of complications.

Moukarzel et al. (2024) conducted a review in Gynecologic oncology surgery requiring bowel resection. Near-infrared (NIR) angiography was evaluated. Near-infrared angiography is a safe intervention that offers real-time assessment of bowel perfusion during gynecologic cancer surgery, potentially decreasing the risk of anastomotic complications.
