The Value Of Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Angiography To Assess Anastomotic Perfusion And Leakage In Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Resection: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, Mohamed Mahmoud Eltaweel, Abdulhamed Hifny Mohamadain

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background and Aim: Anastomotic leaking (AL) is a significant obstacle in colorectal surgery, with potential life-threatening consequences. Insufficient perfusion during surgery is one factor that can contribute to AL. Intraoperative angiography with indocyanine green (ICG) is a noninvasive imaging procedure that can monitor perfusion. This randomized controlled trial will investigate whether ICG angiography can decrease the frequency of AL and improve patient outcomes following laparoscopic colorectal resection. Methods: The clinical trial involved adult cases with a tumor located between 2 and 15 cm from the anal verge, who had colorectal anastomosis performed during colectomy or laparoscopic anterior rectal resection.
