Abstract

AIM: to highlight modern methods of assessing the viability of the intestinal wall.MATERIALS AND METHODS: the search was made using electronic databases. We explored multiple sources, including, but not limited to, monographs, journal articles, books and websites.RESULTS: despite recent advances in scientific methods and technologies, currently the visual method remains the most popular for assessing the viability of the intestinal wall, which includes parameters such as color of the intestinal wall, peristalsis, and arterial pulsation.CONCLUSION: it would be fair to conclude that such methods as hyperspectral imaging, multimodal coherent tomography provide greater flexibility and details on the intestinal viability. However, further research is needed to determine their value in clinical practice. To the date, the most studied and applied method is fluorescent angiography, which allows to assess the viability of the intestine for most of its length.
