Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Imaging for the Evaluation of Blood Perfusion Area in Cancer of the Splenic Flexure With an Occluded Inferior Mesenteric Artery: A Report of Two Cases
Abstract:Radical resection for cancer of the splenic flexure requires careful consideration of the dissection line so that blood flow in the remnant bowel is maintained, particularly when the root of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is already occluded. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) imaging is a promising method for evaluating blood perfusion of organs and vessels. However, there are few reports on the use of ICG to determine the dissection line in patients with altered blood flow. In this article, we desc… Show more
