Intraoperative Assessment of Perfusion of the Gastric Graft and Correlation With Anastomotic Leaks After Esophagectomy.

TLDR
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of laser-assisted fluorescent-dye angiography to assess perfusion in gastric grafts and determine the relationship between perfusion and anastomotic leaks.
Abstract
Objective:The aim of the study was to evaluate laser-assisted fluorescent-dye angiography (LAA) to assess perfusion in the gastric graft and to correlate perfusion with subsequent anastomotic leak.Background:Anastomotic leaks are a major source of morbidity after esophagectomy with gastric pull-up (

Indocyanine green-enhanced fluorescence to assess bowel perfusion during laparoscopic colorectal resection

TL;DR: 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.

A practical guide for the use of indocyanine green and methylene blue in fluorescence-guided abdominal surgery

TL;DR: This review focuses on NIR fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green and methylene blue for different clinical applications in abdominal surgery with an emphasis on oncology, based on a systematic literature search.

Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography for intraoperative assessment of gastrointestinal anastomotic perfusion: a systematic review of clinical trials.

TL;DR: Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) seems like a promising method to assess perfusion at the site intended for anastomosis, however, there is not enough evidence to determine that the method can reduce the leak rate.

Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography during laparoscopic low anterior resection: results of a case-matched study

TL;DR: In the experience, ICG FA was safe and effective in low rectal cancer resection, possibly leading to a reduction in the anastomotic leakage rate after TME.

Predictors of anastomotic leak after esophagectomy: an analysis of the society of thoracic surgeons general thoracic database.

TL;DR: Anastomotic leak after esophagectomy is an important cause of postoperative mortality and increased length of stay, and factors associated with leak on univariate analysis include obesity, heart failure, coronary disease, vascular disease, diabetes, renal insufficiency, tobacco use, procedure duration greater than 5 hours, and type of procedure.

Prevalence and risk factors for ischemia, leak, and stricture of esophageal anastomosis: Gastric pull-up versus colon interposition

TL;DR: Anastomotic leak and stricture are more common and the strictures are more severe after gastric pull-up compared with colon interposition and Dilatation was effective treatment in 93% of patients.
