Attending EAES, don’t forget to come along to our sponsored Masterclass MC4 Fluorescence Guided Surgery – are we there yet? on Tuesday 20th from 2pm, Room S10
Continue readingUsefulness of indocyanine green angiography in the intraoperative evaluation of recipient vessels for microsurgical lower extremity reconstruction in ischemic vasculopathy: Report of three cases
Ischemic vasculopathy poses unique challenges in lower extremity reconstruction. Discover the report of three cases where indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) emerged as a game-changing tool for assessing recipient vessels. Learn how ICGA enhances surgical decision-making and improves patient outcomes.
Continue readingIndocyanine green fluorescence angiography decreases the risk of anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Discover the effectiveness of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICGFA) in reducing anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis reveal a significant decrease in leakage incidence. Explore the potential of ICGFA as a preventive measure
Continue readingASCRS (American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons) and ICG
Really interesting presentations at the ASCRS, advocating use of ICG in colon and rectal surgery including this talk by Dr Matthew Albert on Assessing Conduit Perfusion in Colorectal Surgery which reviewed key trials including most recent EssentiAL study from Japan

Indocyanine Green Angiography for Lower Incidence of Anastomotic Leakage after Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision: A Propensity Score-matched Cohort Study
ICG angiography is a safe and feasible method to help surgeons to identify the potentially poor colon vascular perfusion and modify the proximal colonic transection line, resulting in a significant reduction in AL and hospital readmission rate.
Continue readingIndocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy for preserving parathyroid function: study protocol for a randomized single-blind controlled trial
The results will contribute to adopt a new surgical strategy based on intraoperative ICG angiography before performing total thyroidectomy, according to which the rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism could be substantially reduced.
