Background: This study aims to directly compare measurements of tissue oxygenation obtained using the Intra.Ox (Vioptix Inc., Fremont, CA) near infrared spectrometer with the perfusion assessment of the indocyanine green (ICG)-based SPY Elite imaging system (Stryker Co., Kalamazoo, MI) in a porcine bowel model.
Methods: Two live minipigs underwent laparotomy and isolation of a 30-cm segment of a large bowel. Standardized oximetry measurements were taken along the segment of bowel immediately before, after, and serially for 30 minutes following transection. A 0.5 mg/kg dose of ICG was then injected intravenously and the SPY Elite system was used to visualize and quantify tissue perfusion. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated using the outcomes.
Results: Transected and ligated bowel yielded mean Intra.Ox measurements of 61% oxygenation at the proximal base of the limb and 27.8% at the distal edges. Analysis of the relative ICG fluorescence using the SPY Elite's proprietary software yielded perfusion estimates of 64.8% proximally and 6.8% distally. Intra.Ox and SPY Elite measurements demonstrate a Pearson product-moment correlation of 0.929. Repeat measurements at 15-mm intervals along the tissue yielded decreasing Intra.Ox measurements along the length of the flap that correlate to SPY Elite measurements ( = 0.645).
Conclusion: Both the Intra.Ox and the SPY detected clinically relevant changes in bowel oxygenation following transection and ligation. The use of intravenous ICG dye did not appear to affect measurements of tissue oxygenation obtained using the Intra.Ox.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a systematic image assessment protocol using SPY Elite images (LifeCell Corp., US) of viable tissue at the periphery of the surgical field was associated with positive wound healing outcomes following mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
Method: Patients undergoing mastectomy and subsequent breast reconstruction surgery at a single tertiary medical centre were included.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the complications and long-term outcomes associated with retropectoral DTI breast reconstruction with IDF utilizing the SPY-Elite laser angiographic system.
Material And Method: This retrospective study was conducted from June 2017 to January 2023. We examined 52 patients (85 breasts) treated with a direct-to-implant retropectoral dual plane approach with IDF implant coverage.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor gene and is characterized by parathyroid, pancreatic islet, and anterior pituitary tumors. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most characteristic finding in MEN1, and intraoperative identification and accurate removal of the diseased parathyroid glands are vital since incomplete excision results in recurrence. This case report describes a 59-year-old woman who had pancreatic islet cell tumors and pituitary tumors and underwent selective transsphenoidal adenomectomy.

Objectives: Highlight the use of fluorescent angiography in free flap reconstruction of the head and neck. Qualify how fluorescent angiography can be selectively added to management paradigms for head and neck free flap reconstruction.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of 993 free flaps completed from the time the SPY Elite® system first became available at our institution between September 2013, until August 2020.

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is now considered the "gold standard" for axillary staging in the treatment of breast cancer. Most of the lymph node mapping experiences have been performed with a radioisotope (albumin-Tc99m) associated or not with the intraoperative injection of a dye, such as Patent-Blue V. Recent studies have shown how the use of indocyanine green (ICG; a drug used for diagnostic use for many years in other sectors) as a fluorescent tracer, allows to obtain alone detection rate of the sentinel lymph node similar or even better, without the risks related to radioactivity and with better use of resources.
