Does indocyanine green fluorescence angiography reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks in colorectal resections? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Anastomotic leaks are a significant complication in colorectal surgery. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) has been suggested as a method to reduce the risk. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect of ICG-FA on reducing anastomotic leaks in colorectal surgery.
