No randomized controlled trials have been published. ICG-FA seems like a promising method to assess perfusion at the site intended for anastomosis. However, we do not have the sufficient evidence to determine that the method can reduce the leak rate.

Perfusion assessment with quantitative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is not only feasible but easy to perform with commercially available equipment and readily accessible software.

Placing a deposit in relation to the tumor by indocyanine green in vivo or of methylene blue ex vivo could only identify sentinel lymph nodes in a small group of patients.
