Objective:
To evaluate the impact of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography on the incidence of colorectal anastomotic leakage.
Material And Methods:
We summarized the results of non-comparative and randomized clinical trials, as well as meta-analyses.
Results:
Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography changes the anastomosis site in 10% of patients due to inadequate blood supply to intestinal wall at the initially scheduled level. This method can decrease the incidence of «low» colorectal anastomosis leakage.
Conclusion:
Routine intraoperative fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green can become a standard method for prevention of colorectal anastomotic leakage.
