Abstract
Background: Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) in colorectal surgery allows changing the section line (CSL) based on objective evaluation of the vascular supply. The aim of this prospective study is to report our experience with CSL based on ICG-FA during colorectal surgery and to report risk factors influencing it.
Methods: From 2014 to 2023, all patients who underwent any colorectal surgical procedure with anastomosis and ICG-FA were enrolled. Patients for whom changing the section line based on ICG-FA was not necessary were included in group A, and patients for whom ICG-FA determined a CSL were included in group B.
Results: Four hundred consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic surgery, except for two. In 334 patients (group A, 83.5%), CSL based on ICG-FA did not occur, while CSL occurred in 66 patients (group B, 16.5%). In group B, median time from ICG injection and fluorescence visualization (TIFV) was statistically significantly longer than in group A (28.5 s versus 23 s, p = 0.003). Anastomotic leakage rate was 1.8% and 4.5% in group A and B, respectively, without a statistically significant difference. The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age > 60 years and TIFV ≥ 20 s as independent risk factors for CSL.
Conclusions: Factors influencing the CSL are identified, which could be useful to determine the cases in which this technology should be mandatory and to consider when ICG is not available. These factors could also influence the decision-making process during surgery, such as using protective ileostomy.
期刊介绍:
Techniques in Coloproctology is an international journal fully devoted to diagnostic and operative procedures carried out in the management of colorectal diseases. Imaging, clinical physiology, laparoscopy, open abdominal surgery and proctoperineology are the main topics covered by the journal. Reviews, original articles, technical notes and short communications with many detailed illustrations render this publication indispensable for coloproctologists and related specialists. Both surgeons and gastroenterologists are represented on the distinguished Editorial Board, together with pathologists, radiologists and basic scientists from all over the world. The journal is strongly recommended to those who wish to be updated on recent developments in the field, and improve the standards of their work.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1965 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted. Reports of animal experiments must state that the Principles of Laboratory Animal Care (NIH publication no. 86-23 revised 1985) were followed as were applicable national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals). The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. Authors will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfill such requirements.
