Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography decreases the risk of colorectal anastomotic leakage: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Anastomotic leakage after a colorectal resection results in devastating consequences for patients. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is a modality to visualize vascular perfusion at the anastomotic site and can help surgeons decide the viability of the anastomosis. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography in decreasing anastomotic leakage.

Preventing Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Thyroid Surgery with Fluorescence Visualization of Parathyroid Glands

Dr Fernando Dip will be showing us the results of a study that was recently published. The effectiveness of using near-infrared light (NIRL) intraoperatively for parathyroid gland identification was demonstrated. He will be showing us how the technology can be used in order to decrease the rate of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomies.
