Abstract

Insufficient blood flow has been hypothesized as a cause of leakage in bariatric surgery. Inadequate or decreased blood flow of the roux limb, the gastrojejunostomy, the angle of Hiss and the duodenal-ileostomy in bariatric operations can be assessed via Indocyanine Green flourescent imaging intraoperatively. We assessed the usefullness of Indocyanine green florescent blood flow imaging of these structures during Roux Y gastric bypass, duodenal switch and sleeve gastrectomy. Both primary and revisional procedures were studied.
