Background: Modern surgical medicine strives to manage trauma while improving outcomes
using functional imaging. Identification of viable tissues is crucial for the surgical …

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common surgically curable malignancies worldwide,
having a good prognosis even with liver metastasis. This improved patient outcome is …

Background Ischemia at the site of an intestinal anastomosis is one of the most important
risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL). Consequently, adequate intestinal microperfusion …

Background Single snapshot imaging of optical properties (SSOP) is a relatively new non-
invasive, real-time, contrast-free optical imaging technology, which allows for the real-time …

Background Securing sufficient blood perfusion to the anastomotic area after low-anterior
resection is a crucial factor in preventing anastomotic leakage (AL). Intra-operative …

Background MRI is the reference for the diagnosis of arterial cerebral ischemia, but its role in
acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is poorly known. Purpose To assess MRI detection of early …

Purpose Real-time intraoperative perfusion assessment may reduce anastomotic leaks.
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) provides dye-free visualization of perfusion by …

Simple Summary Near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG)-enhanced fluorescence has been
advocated as a reliable real-time technique to assess bowel perfusion during anastomosis …

Background An objective evaluation of the functional state and viability of biological tissues
during minimally invasive surgery remains unsolved task. Various non-contact methods for …

Introduction: Healing is essential for successful colorectal surgery. Optimal microcirculation
is needed to ensure this; however, this is only subjectively assessed by the surgeon. Laser …
