Background: Inadequate bowel perfusion is among risk factors for colorectal anastomotic leaks. Perfusion can be assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) during colon resections. Possible benefits from its systematic use in high-risk patients with rectal cancer remain inconsistent.

- * A review of 20 studies involving 285 patients showed that many received neoadjuvant treatment, with the majority undergoing cytoreductive surgery followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, but severe complications occurred in 32.2% of cases.
- * The findings reveal a significant lack of comprehensive data on optimal management for this patient group, particularly concerning neoadjuvant treatment, the impact of HIPEC, and stoma management.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how safe and effective laparoscopic surgery is for people with a specific gut problem called complicated fistulizing diverticular disease.
- Out of 104 patients, most had successful surgery without needing to switch to a bigger open surgery, and only a small number had serious complications afterward.
- Most patients were able to avoid having a permanent bag and had short hospital stays, showing that this type of surgery can be a good option for treating their condition.
