Oxygen Saturation Endoscopic Imaging as a Novel Alternative to Assess Tissue Perfusion During Esophagectomy
In our experience, OXEI is a viable method for intraoperative assessment of gastric conduit perfusion in patients with contraindications to ICG. Prospective studies are needed to validate its efficacy in preventing anastomotic complications and to compare it with other methods of perfusion assessment including gross visual and ICG dye in a larger patient population.
