Clinical Trial: FLuorescent Angiography in REduction of Anastomotic Leak in Rectal Cancer Surgery

U.S., Oct. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07899125) titled 'FLuorescent Angiography in REduction of Anastomotic Leak in Rectal Cancer Surgery' on May 01.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether using a special green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) during minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery can help surgeons assess blood flow to the bowel and reduce leakage from the surgical connection between two ends of the bowel.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Does using ICG fluorescence imaging reduce the risk of leakage from the bowel connection after surgery?

* Does ICG imaging help surgeons identify areas of the bowel with poor blood flow an...
