Evaluation of clinical benefit and safety of anastomotic perfusion measurement in reconstruction of gastrectomy using indocyanine green (ICG) enhanced fluorescence system

Introduction: Recent new imaging system using near-infrared (NIR) indocyanine green (ICG) enhanced fluorescence system has provided diverse clinical benefit in digestive surgery. However, there is no clear evidence regarding usefulness of anastomotic perfusion measurement using ICG-enhanced fluorescence system. Our study’s purpose is to evaluate clinical benefit and safety to investigate anastomotic tissue perfusion in reconstruction of...
