Fluorescence Image Guided Foregut Surgery

Prospective Study on the Contribution of Fluorescence in the Guidance of Lymphadenectomy and in Peroperative Evaluation of Pre-anastomotic Tissue Perfusion in Laparoscopic Esogastric Oncologic Resections

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

A high number of resected lymph nodes is an independent prognostic factor for improved survival after esophagectomy or gastrectomy for cancer. The quality of the lymphadenectomy is operator-dependent, as is the evaluation of the vascularization of the digestive structures that are anastomosed to restore digestive continuity after esophago-gastric resection. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of Indocyanine Green (ICG) and near infra-red (NIR) fluorescence imaging guidance in terms of number of lymph nodes resected and quality of gastrointestinal tract anastomoses in esophagogastric cancer surgery.
