Endoscopic Oxygen Monitoring During Colorectal Connections

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates a novel endoscopic imaging system that displays tissue oxygen saturation during colo-rectal anastomosis. Researchers will compare real-time oxygen data with standard perfusion assessment to see if oxygen levels can predict healing and reduce complications. Participation involves adults undergoing colorectal anastomosis at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, with intraoperative ICG-FA and endoscopic StO2 imaging. The study is sponsored by Vanderbilt with collaboration from FujiFilm HealthCare Americas and does not assign a treatment.
