Indocanine green (ICG) fluorescence is able to assess in vivo tissue perfusion. This technique has been validated in colorectal surgery and provides, by real time angiography, the evaluation of bowel perfusion before anastomosis[1]. This video shows the usefulness of ICG fluorescence application in ileal pouch anal surgery. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
