Indocyanine Green ICG in Segmentary Resection in Colo-rectal Surgery is Usefull to Decrease Leak Threshold: A Paralel Retrospetive Cohort Study

Name
GREEN COLONIC SAFE ANASTOMOSIS
Description
This is a parallel monocentric, retrospective cohort study in Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy. Aim of this study is to investigate the protective role of Indocyanine green (ICG) for Anastomotic leak (AL) in patients underwent elective segmentary colic resection (transverse colic resection, left colectomy including sigmoidectomy, splenic colic flexure resection). Secondary aims are to detect and to investigate the impact of various risk factors on AL and morbidity and surgical performance within 30 days to surgery.

Treatment
ICG solution
ICG-ATT is available at our institute since 2019 using a near-infrared (NIR) light source and special scope and camera equipped with xenon light (CARL STORZ GmbH \& Co. KG, Tuttlingen, Germany); ICG was supplied as a sterile water-soluble lyophilized powder (Diagnostic Green® GmbH). ICG-ATT is routinely used whenever available in daily practice with the following protocol: after the specimen resection the two colonic stumps or colonic and rectal stumps are checked with 5 cc of ICG 25 mg diluted in 10 cc of water sterile solution before fashioned anastomosis. Two laparoscopes with ICG-optic system are nowadays available department and ICG anastomosis control is always performed if ICG device are available (no performed in case of not available ICG instrument for sterilization in case of two consecutive surgery in the same day, concomitant ICG surgery or ICG malfunction).
