The use of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography to assess anastomotic perfusion following bowel resection in surgery for gynecologic malignancies - A report of 100 consecutive anastomoses.
CONCLUSIONS: ICG-FA enables objective and accurate intraoperative evaluation of anastomotic perfusion in surgeries for gynecologic malignancies. Its implementation and routine use were found to be safe and well-tolerated without side effects in our study cohort. ICG-FA can be used with other risk-assessment strategies to guide operative decision-making in Gynecologic Oncology.
