The impact of indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging on intraluminal perfusion of a J-pouch.

Peritoneal recurrence, invading the small bowel, adjacent to the artery feeding the J-pouch, the left ureter and the left common iliac artery, was confirmed by an enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan. After ten courses of chemotherapy, there was shrinkage of the recurrent tumor, and the tumor resection was planned. After resection of the tumor, due to the pelvic adhesions, we could not evaluate the blood flow of the J-pouch from the abdominal cavity, even with the use of colonoscopy. [Extracted from the article]
