Real-time intestinal perfusion assessment for anastomotic site selection using laser speckle contrast imaging: Verification in a porcine model
Laser speckle contrast imaging can provide valuable real-time feedback on intestinal tissue perfusion during surgery, enabling surgeons to select optimal tissue segments for a well-perfused anastomosis. However, further research is required to validate the efficacy in clinical settings and its potential impact on surgical outcomes in patients.
