Abstract
Decreased blood perfusion at the anastomotic site increases the risk of anastomotic leakage (AL) following colorectal surgery. Indocyanine green near-infrared fluoroangiography (NIRF/ICG) is a technique that allows for the assessment of intestinal perfusion before and after the formation of an anastomosis. We aimed to compare the rate of AL after colorectal surgery conducted with NIRF/ICG assessing vascular anastomotic perfusion and without this...
