ICG fluorescence angiography reduces anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic surgery for malignant rectal tumors: a propensity score-matched study
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with anastomotic leakage (AL) representing a severe complication after colorectal surgery. Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FI) has shown potential in improving tissue perfusion assessment and may...
