Abstract
The current data on the intraoperative use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to reduce the anastomotic leak (AL) rate in rectal cancer surgery remain controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of ICG fluorescence imaging in decreasing the AL rate after rectal cancer surgery.
