Use of intraoperative <scp>ICG</scp> fluorescence angiography to reduce anastomotic leak in left‐sided colorectal resections: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of <scp>RCTs</scp>

Intraoperative ICG fluorescence angiography significantly reduces anastomotic leak rates after left-sided colorectal resection, with consistent benefit across diverse surgical settings. The technology is practical and does not prolong operating time. ICG angiography should be considered a valuable adjunct in left-sided colorectal resections.
