Perioperative splanchnic perfusion variation around colorectal surgery using both indocyanine green spectrophotometry and fluorescence angiography
To describe perioperative splanchnic perfusion patterns using ICG-PPS and ICGFA and to assess their potential in identifying patients at risk of postoperative complications, which is crucial for improving surgical outcomes.
Key Findings:
ICG-PPS and ICGFA provide complementary insights into splanchnic perfusion during colorectal surgery, potentially guiding clinical decisions.
Variability in splanchnic blood flow was observed at different perioperative timepoints, highlighting the need for real-time monitoring.
Potential correlation between perioperative perfusion measurements and postoperative complications, suggesting a role in risk stratification.
Interpretation:
The study suggests that real-time monitoring of splanchnic perfusion using ICG technologies may enhance surgical decision-making by providing objective data that can inform intraoperative strategies and improve patient outcomes.
Limitations:
Single-centre study may limit generalizability of findings and introduce potential biases.
Small sample size and exploratory nature of the study may affect the robustness of conclusions.
Conclusion:
ICG-PPS and ICGFA may serve as valuable tools for assessing splanchnic perfusion and identifying patients at risk of complications during colorectal surgery, ultimately aiming to enhance patient recovery and reduce adverse outcomes.
