Checking bowel viability is difficult but important during surgery for ischemic bowel disease or jejunal autotransplantation. We investigated the effectiveness of two-wavelength near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to quantify tissue oxygen saturation (StO(2)), which can affect bowel viability during reconstruction of the cervical esophagus using a free jejunal graft.
