• Research summary

  This is a single-centre feasibility study investigating the use of an on-table, real-time, indocyanine green (ICG) angiogram, generated with a laparoscopic NIR imaging system, to evaluate colonic anastomotic perfusion and biliary anatomy intra-operatively.

  Patients will be selected on the basis that they are undergoing a laparoscopic colonic resection or a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

  We will include 100 patients undergoing anterior resection for rectal or sigmoid colonic pathology (benign and malignant), 50 patients undergoing right and left colectomies (benign and malignant) and 100 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

  Primary objectives will be anastomotic leak rate for colonic resections and rate of visualisation of biliary structures for cholecystectomy.
