Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have indicated the potential benefit of intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR-FI) with indocyanine green in reducing early anastomotic leakage in colorectal surgery. Nonetheless, whether NIR-FI is effective in reducing structural sequelae of anastomotic leakage (SSAL) remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of NIR-FI on SSAL after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (ISR) of malignant rectal tumors. METHODS: This study was a retrospective single-center cohort study. A total of 293 consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic ISR from May 2010 to August 2017 were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups; those who underwent elective laparoscopic ISR with lymphadenectomy for malignant rectal tumors using NIR-F (NIR-FI group) and those who underwent elective laparoscopic ISR with lymphadenectomy for malignant rectal tumors without using NIR-FI (control group). Thirty were excluded from the analyses (13 died, 7 had pelvic recurrence, and 10 were lost to follow-up). The primary endpoint was the rate of SSAL within 2 years after the primary resection, whereas the secondary endpoint was the rate of natural defecation via the anus at 2 years after the primary resection. Using various statistical analyses, such as propensity score matching, the rate of SSAL was compared between groups. RESULTS: A total of 263 patients were analyzed [177 males and 86 females, median age 61 (27-84) years]. Prior to propensity score matching (n = 263), NIR-FI was performed in 70 patients (26.6%) The rates of SSAL were 1.4% (1/70) in the NIR-FI group and 10.4% (20/193) in the control group (p = 0.02). After propensity score matching (n = 163), the rates of SSAL were 1.5% (1/66) in the NIR-FI group and 11.7% (12/103) in the control group (p = 0.02). Propensity score analyses, as well as simple regression analyses, revealed that NIR-FI was associated with a significantly lower risk of SSAL (OR 0.10-0.13; p = 0.03-0.05). CONCLUSIONS: NIR-FI is useful in reducing the rate of SSAL after laparoscopic ISR.
