Modification of the lesser curvature incision line enhanced gastric conduit perfusion as determined by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging and decreased the incidence of anastomotic leakage following esophagectomy
ICG fluorescence imaging is a feasible, reliable method for the assessment of gastric conduit perfusion. Modified lesser curvature cutline could enhance gastric conduit perfusion, promote blood circulation around the anastomotic site, and reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy.
