VS03.02: TOTALLY MINIMALLY INVASIVE IVORL LEWIS ESOPHAGECTOMY (TMIE) INDOCYANINE COLOR GREEN (ICG) FLUORESCENCE ANGIOGRAPHY ASSISTED

Abstract Description Totally Minimally Invasive Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy has been proven feasible and safe in terms of overall mortality, morbidity and oncologic outcomes. Technical problems still exist in anastomotic fashioning and esophagogastric leakage represents the most feared complication. Its incidence is strictly related to technical difficulties and to the ischemia of the tissue involved in the anastomosis. We think angiography with Indocyanine Color Green can help the experienced surgeon to better evaluate the adequacy of the gastric tube therefore reducing the incidence of anastomotic leak.
