Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a ICG-fluorescence guidance complemented with enhanced reality to correctly document intestinal pre-anastomotic perfusion and to validate the accuracy of this technique with metabolic intestinal cells changes.

Detailed description

Accurate intraoperative evaluation of peri-anastomotic gastrointestinal tract perfusion is essential to reduce the risk of anastomotic complications such as leakage or strictures. Anastomotic leakage is the most dreadful complication of colorectal resections. Intestinal microcirculation and viability is usually estimated from the color of the serosal surface, presence of peristalsis, pulsation and bleeding from the marginal arteries. This is subjective and based on the experience of the surgeon. Fluorescence videography integrates a near-infrared endoscope able to detect the signal emitted by a fluorescent dye, Indocyanine Green (ICG), which is administered by intravenous injection. Fluorescence intensity is proportional to the amount of fluorescent dye diffused in the tissue and it consequently is a surrogate marker of tissue perfusion. The hypothesis is that ICG-fluorescence guidance coupled with enhanced reality would allow a precise and rapid localization of the future anastomotic site in terms of optimal perfusion in laparoscopic colorectal resections. In patients undergoing elective left-sided colonic resection by laparoscopic approach, resection site and anastomosis perfusion will be evaluated by : * the visual appreciation of the surgeon * the fluorescence-based enhanced reality, after injection of ICG and digital process. A series of peri-operative samplings will also be carried out. In any case, the resection will be performed according to the surgeon's appreciation.

Interventions

PROCEDURELeft-sided colonic resection

During interventions, anastomosis perfusion will be estimated (outcomes: visual appreciation of the surgeon, ICG fluorescence-based enhanced reality and series of peri-operative samplings) in order to validate the accuracy of ICG fluorescence-based enhanced reality technique. In any case, the resection will be performed according to the surgeon's appreciation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Correlation between the perfusion evaluated by the ICG fluorescence-based enhanced reality and the metabolic state of the intestineDuring surgeryThe perfusion evaluated by the ICG fluorescence-based enhanced reality, obtained by the digital process of the fluorescence dynamic signal, will be correlated to the metabolic state of the intestine, assessed by the measure of biological markers on several points of the intestine.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Correlation between the intraoperative intestinal perfusion and the rate of anastomosis leakageDuring surgeryThe intraoperative intestinal perfusion on the anastomosis site, measured by fluorescence videography, will be correlated to the rate of anastomosis leakage.
Distance between the resection site based on the surgeon's appreciation and the resection site based on the digital analysis and the peri-operative samplingsDuring surgeryThe distance between the resection site based on the surgeon's clinic appreciation and the resection site based on the digital analysis and the level of capillary lactates and mitochondria respiratory rate on different sites will be measured.
