Abstract

Background: In the field of rectal cancer surgery, there remains ongoing debate on the merits of high ligation (HL) and low ligation (LL) of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in terms of perfusion and anastomosis leakage. Recently, infrared fluorescence of indocyanine green (ICG) imaging has been used to evaluate perfusion status during colorectal surgery. Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the changes in perfusion status between HL and LL through quantitative evaluation of ICG. Methods: Patients with rectosigmoid or rectal cancer were randomized into a high or LL group.
