Intra-arterial versus negative-staining of embryonal resection borders with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for total mesorectal excision in colorectal cancer - an experimental feasibility study in a porcine model.

Conclusions: Although systemic intra-venous application of ICG and negative-staining of the rectum including the mesorectum is much easier compared to laparoscopic inter-arterial perfusion through IMA, image results of selevtive IMA-perfusion appear in sharper discrimination of the several layers. Further investigation should focus on simplifying this technique. PMID: 32425093 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
