Aplicaciones de la fluorescencia con verde de indocianina en anastomosis de cirugía colorrectal: una revisión bibliográfica

Abstract

Introduction: During intestinal surgery, one of the most significant challenges is ensuring intestinal vitality by determining its viability to prevent complications such as intestinal resection (1). Anastomotic leakage (LA) remains the most dreaded complication, with a frequency of up to 30% in non-high-volume centers (2). ICG (indocyanine green) fluorescence angiography might be an objective and non-invasive method to assess intestinal viability and accurately determine the extent of ischemia (3). Main Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of indocyanine green fluorescence application in colon and rectal surgery through a bibliographic review. Methodology: Narrative bibliographic review of studies, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, controlled clinical trials, cohort studies, bibliographic reviews reporting the role of indocyanine green fluorescence in colorectal surgery from 2018 to 2023, in both English and Spanish. Expected Results: The application of indocyanine green fluorescence in colon and rectal surgery is expected to be effective
