U.S., Oct. 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07906704) titled 'Intra-Operative Infrared Thermography for Bowel Resection' on Oct. 19.
Brief Summary: This prospective randomized control pilot study evaluates the use of intra-operative infrared thermography compared to conventional visual assessment for preventing anastomotic leaks in bowel resection surgeries. Eighty adult patients undergoing elective single bowel resection and anastomosis were randomly divided into two equal groups. In the intervention group, a portable thermal camera was used to assess real-time blood supply at the bowel margins to decide the exact line of resection. In the control group, surgeons used standard clinical judgme...
