Blood Perfusion Assessment by Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for Minimally Invasive Rectal Cancer Surgery (EssentiAL trial)

Abstract

Although the actual reduction rate of anastomotic leakage in the ICG+ group was lower than the expected reduction rate and ICG-FI was not superior to white light, ICG-FI significantly reduced the anastomotic leakage rate by 4.2%.
