Pitfalls of indocyanine green perfusional assessment in colorectal anastomosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "ANZ Journal of Surgery"
DOI: 10.1111/ans.17910
Abstract: Amongst the multiple factors associated with a successful colorectal anastomosis, two are potentially determined by the surgeon—structural integrity of the anastomosis and adequate tissue perfusion. While structural integrity can be assessed using objective methods such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/codi.14242
Abstract: In 1978, Turnbull published how a retro-ileal transmesenteric colorectal anastomosis can lengthen the ascending colon. In fact, this manoeuvre is also useful in the event of a marginal artery injury during splenic flexure mobilization. Since… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2021-003060
Abstract: In ovarian cancer, modified posterior pelvic exenteration and endtoend colorectal anastomosis are usually necessary to achieve optimal cytoreduction. Anastomotic leak ranges from 1.7% to 6.8%, and is the main lifethreatening scenario after colorectal anastomosis. It… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/15533506211051274
Abstract: Background The protective ostomy is the current standard of care to protect a low colorectal anastomosis from leakage, but exposes patients to complications requiring an alternative strategy. The Colovac+ is a vacuum-based intraluminal bypass device… read more here.

Assessment of Colorectal Anastomosis with Intraoperative Colonoscopy: Its Role in Reducing Anastomotic Complications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Biomedicines"
DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11041162
Abstract: The use of intraoperative colonoscopy (IOC) to evaluate the integrity of newly created anastomosis has been advocated by some surgeons. However, whether direct visualization of fresh anastomosis can help reduce anastomotic problems is still unclear.… read more here.

Bowel Rest with Total Parenteral Nutrition as an Alternative to Diverting Ileostomy in High-Risk Colorectal Anastomosis: A Pilot Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Medicina"
DOI: 10.3390/medicina58040510
Abstract: Anastomotic leakage remains the most feared complication in colorectal surgery. Various intraoperative tests evaluate bowel perfusion and mechanical integrity of the colorectal anastomosis. These tests reduce the risk of postoperative anastomotic leakage; however, the incidence… read more here.
