This retrospective study investigated the relationship between indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography during esophagectomy and postoperative endoscopy findings, especially mucosal color change.
Methods: This study retrospectively collected data from 86 patients who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and reconstruction using a gastric tube for esophageal cancer at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University between 2017 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) during minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer, focusing on its impact on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy.
- Analysis of data from over 4,800 patients revealed that those who underwent surgery with IONM experienced significantly lower rates of postoperative RLN palsy and respiratory complications compared to those without IONM.
- Though IONM resulted in longer anesthesia times, it potentially shortened hospital stays, indicating its benefits in reducing specific complications related to esophageal cancer surgery.
