Mesenteric Vascular Evaluation with Pre-operative Multidetector Computed Tomographic Angiography and Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Angiography to Reduce Anastomotic Leaks after Minimally Invasive Surgery for Colorectal Cancer.

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to determine the effect of mesenteric vascular evaluation using pre-operative multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography on reducing the anastomotic leak rate of colorectal cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive resection.

Methods: Twenty-seven consecutive patients with colorectal cancer were studied, 18 males and 9 females, average age 69.1 ± 3.
