Background: We investigated the impact of Indocyanine Green (ICG) angiography on reducing anastomotic leakage (AL) after elective left segmental colon resection, including transverse resection. While ICG is widely used in colorectal surgery to assess vascularization, its true effect on AL, particularly in left segmental resections, remains unclear.

Study Design: This retrospective, monocentric cohort study included patients undergoing left and transverse colon resection from January 2017 to July 2023.

Introduction: The use of three-dimensional image reconstruction in liver surgery is well-known and has got many applications: It was first developed for vein reconstruction in liver transplantation and for liver volumetry to prevent post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) after major resections. There are many other advantages described in the literature provided by three-dimensional reconstruction, however its diffusion is currently limited.

Clinical Case: We present the case of a woman with a single colon cancer metastasis in segment 5 of the liver.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marta Ribolla"

  • - Marta Ribolla's recent research emphasizes the integration of advanced imaging techniques, such as three-dimensional reconstruction, to improve precision in laparoscopic liver surgeries, as evidenced by her case report involving a patient with a liver metastasis from colon cancer.
  • - Her work also highlights the complexities and challenges in diagnosing rare gastrointestinal conditions, as demonstrated in her article on asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum related to pneumatosis coli, which underscores the potential for misleading clinical indications.
  • - Overall, Ribolla's findings advocate for enhanced diagnostic methodologies and surgical techniques to optimize patient outcomes in complex surgical scenarios.
