[PMID: 36114346 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09583-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) mitigates variations and subjectivity in the use and interpretation of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in the current visualization paradigm of real-time intraoperative tissue blood flow/perfusion in clinically relevant scenarios. METHODS De novo laparoscopic imaging form-factor detecting real-time blood flow using LSCI and blood volume by near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) of ICG was compared to ICG NIRF alone, for dye-less real-time visualization of tissue blood flow/perfusion. Experienced surgeons examined LSCI and ICG in segmentally devascularized intestine, partial gastrectomy, and the renal hilum across six porcine models. Precision and accuracy of identifying demarcating lines of ischemia/perfusion in tissues were determined in blinded subjects with varying levels of surgical experience. RESULTS Unlike ICG, LSCI perfusion detection was real time (latency < 150 ms: p < 0.01), repeatable and on-demand without fluorophore injection. Operating surgeons (n = 6) precisely and accurately identified concordant demarcating lines in white light, LSCI, and ICG modes immediately. Blinded subjects (n = 21) demonstrated similar spatial-temporal precision and accuracy with all three modes ≤ 2 min after ICG injection, and discordance in ICG mode at ≥ 5 min in devascularized small intestine (p < 0.0001) and in partial gastrectomy (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Combining LSCI for near real-time blood flow detection with ICG fluorescence for blood volume detection significantly improves precision and accuracy of perfusion detection in tissue locations over time, in real time, and repeatably on-demand than ICG alone.

Quantifying the Impact of Signal-to-background Ratios on Surgical Discrimination of Fluorescent Lesions. Mol Imaging Biol 2023; 25:180-189. [PMID: 35711014 PMCID: PMC9971139 DOI: 10.1007/s11307-022-01736-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical fluorescence guidance has gained popularity in various settings, e.g., minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In pursuit of novel receptor-targeted tracers, the field of fluorescence-guided surgery is currently moving toward increasingly lower signal intensities. This highlights the importance of understanding the impact of low fluorescence intensities on clinical decision making. This study uses kinematics to investigate the impact of signal-to-background ratios (SBR) on surgical performance. METHODS Using a custom grid exercise containing hidden fluorescent targets, a da Vinci Xi robot with Firefly fluorescence endoscope and ProGrasp and Maryland forceps instruments, we studied how the participants' (N = 16) actions were influenced by the fluorescent SBR. To monitor the surgeon's actions, the surgical instrument tip was tracked using a custom video-based tracking framework. The digitized instrument tracks were then subjected to multi-parametric kinematic analysis, allowing for the isolation of various metrics (e.g., velocity, jerkiness, tortuosity). These were incorporated in scores for dexterity (Dx), decision making (DM), overall performance (PS) and proficiency. All were related to the SBR values. RESULTS Multi-parametric analysis showed that task completion time, time spent in fluorescence-imaging mode and total pathlength are metrics that are directly related to the SBR. Below SBR 1.5, these values substantially increased, and handling errors became more frequent. The difference in Dx and DM between the targets that gave SBR < 1.50 and SBR > 1.50, indicates that the latter group generally yields a 2.5-fold higher Dx value and a threefold higher DM value. As these values provide the basis for the PS score, proficiency could only be achieved at SBR > 1.55. CONCLUSION By tracking the surgical instruments we were able to, for the first time, quantitatively and objectively assess how the instrument positioning is impacted by fluorescent SBR. Our findings suggest that in ideal situations a minimum SBR of 1.5 is required to discriminate fluorescent lesions, a substantially lower value than the SBR 2 often reported in literature.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common surgically curable malignancies worldwide, having a good prognosis even with liver metastasis. This improved patient outcome is marred by anastomotic leaks (AL) in operated patients of colorectal cancer despite a microscopically margin-negative resection (R0). Various risk factors have been attributed to causing this. Preoperative non-modifiable factors are age, male sex, cancer cachexia, and neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, and modifiable factors are comorbidities, peripheral vascular disease, anemia, and malnutrition. Intraoperative risk factors include intraoperative surgical duration, blood loss and transfusions, fluid management, oxygen saturation, surgical technique (stapled, handsewn, or compression devices), and approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic). Postoperative factors like anemia, infection, fluid management, and blood transfusions also have an effect. With the advent of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, many modifiable factors can be optimized to reduce the risk. Prevention is better than cure as the morbidity and mortality of AL are very high. There is still a need for an intraoperative technique to detect the viability of anastomotic ends to predict and prevent AL. Prompt diagnosis of an AL is the key. Many surgeons have proposed using methods like air leak tests, intraoperative endoscopy, Doppler ultrasound, and near-infrared fluorescence imaging to decrease the incidence of AL. All these methods can minimize AL, resulting in significant intraoperative alterations to surgical tactics. This narrative review covers the methods of assessing of integrity of anastomosis during the surgery, which can help prevent anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim of our study was to test a noninvasive HSI technique as an intraoperative real time assessment tool for deceased donor kidney quality and function in human kidney allotransplantation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA HSI is capable to deliver quantitative diagnostic information about tissue pathology, morphology, and composition, based on the spectral characteristics of the investigated tissue. Because tools for objective intraoperative graft viability and performance assessment are lacking, we applied this novel technique to human kidney transplantation. METHODS Hyperspectral images of distinct components of kidney allografts (parenchyma, ureter) were acquired 15 and 45 minutes after reperfusion and subsequently analyzed using specialized HSI acquisition software capable to compute oxygen saturation levels (StO2), near infrared perfusion indices (NIR), organ hemoglobin indices, and tissue water indices of explored tissues. RESULTS Seventeen kidney transplants were analyzed. Median recipient and donor age were 55 years. Cold ischemia time was 10.8 ± 4.1 hours and anastomosis time was 35 ± 7 minutes (mean ± standard deviation). Two patients (11.8%) developed delayed graft function (DGF). cold ischemia time was significantly longer (18.6 ± 1.6) in patients with DGF (P < 0.01). Kidneys with DGF furthermore displayed significant lower StO2 (P = 0.02) and NIR perfusion indices, 15 minutes after reperfusion (P < 0.01). Transplant ureters displayed a significant decrease of NIR perfusion with increased distance to the renal pelvis, identifying well and poor perfused segments. CONCLUSION Intraoperative HSI is feasible and meaningful to predict DGF in renal allografts. Furthermore, it can be utilized for image guided surgery, providing information about tissue oxygenation, perfusion, hemoglobin concentration, and water concentration, hence allowing intraoperative viability assessment of the kidney parenchyma and the ureter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular damage is the main cause of delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplant. Assessing its extent may be helpful in predicting DGF to achieve better postoperative management, especially in terms of an immunosuppressive regimen. Our aim was to explore the capability of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography to examine the microvasculature of the kidney. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study on 37 kidney transplant recipients in a high-volume kidney transplant center. During surgery, after graft implant, an ICG angiography was performed through a high-definition Storz camera system (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) with successive quantitative assessment of fluorescence using Icy bioimage analysis. RESULTS All transplanted kidneys that showed immediate recovery of their function had a fluorescent intensity ≥49.953 with a mean of 96.930 ± 21. The fluorescence intensity for kidneys that showed a delayed recovery of their function never exceeded 55.648, and the mean was 37.718 ± 13. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant with a P value < .001. The only kidney that never recovered showed a fluorescence intensity consistently <25.220, the lowest detected. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that intraoperative ICG angiography may be used to assess the microvasculature of the graft. A statistically significant difference in terms of fluorescent intensity can be highlighted between kidneys that immediately recover their function and those with delayed recovery. Further larger studies are needed to confirm the capability of the technique to predict DGF to optimize the transplanted patients' management.

Abstract
To improve the prognosis of cancer patients, methods of local cancer detection and treatment could be implemented. For that, iron-based nanomaterials (IBN) are particularly well-suited due to their biocompatibility and the various ways in which they can specifically target a tumor, i.e. through passive, active or magnetic targeting. Furthermore, when it is needed, IBN can be associated with well-known fluorescent compounds, such as dyes, clinically approved ICG, fluorescent proteins, or quantum dots. They may also be excited and detected using well-established optical methods, relying on scattering or fluorescent mechanisms, depending on whether IBN are associated with a fluorescent compound or not. Systems combining IBN with optical methods are diverse, thus enabling tumor detection in various ways. In addition, these systems provide a wealth of information, which is inaccessible with more standard diagnostic tools, such as single tumor cell detection, in particular by combining IBN with near-field scanning optical microscopy, dark-field microscopy, confocal microscopy or super-resolution microscopy, or the highlighting of certain dynamic phenomena such as the diffusion of a fluorescent compound in an organism, e.g. using fluorescence lifetime imaging, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, fluorescence anisotropy, or fluorescence tomography. Furthermore, they can in some cases be complemented by a therapeutic approach to destroy tumors, e.g. when the fluorescent compound is a drug, or when a technique such as photo-thermal or photodynamic therapy is employed. This review brings forward the idea that iron-based nanomaterials may be associated with various optical techniques to form a commercially available toolbox, which can serve to locally detect or treat cancer with a better efficacy than more standard medical approaches. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: New tools should be developed to improve cancer treatment outcome. For that, two closely-related aspects deserve to be considered, i.e. early tumor detection and local tumor treatment. Here, I present various types of iron-based nanomaterials, which can achieve this double objective when they interact with a beam of light under specific and accurately chosen conditions. Indeed, these materials are biocompatible and can be used/combined with most standard microscopic/optical methods. Thus, these systems enable on the one hand tumor cell detection with a high sensitivity, i.e. down to single tumor cell level, and on the other hand tumor destruction through various mechanisms in a controlled and localized manner by deciding whether or not to apply a beam of light and by having these nanomaterials specifically target tumor cells.

Abstract
Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists to provide accurate and effective optical diagnosis in real time. This review mainly analyzes the current status of clinically available endoscopic optical imaging techniques, with emphasis on the latest updates of existing techniques. We summarize current coverage of these technologies in major hospital departments such as gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, pneumology, and laparoscopic surgery. In order to promote a broader understanding, we further cover the underlying principles of these technologies and analyze their performance. Moreover, we provide a brief overview of future perspectives in related technologies, such as computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) algorithms dealing with exploring endoscopic video data. We believe all these efforts will benefit the healthcare of the community, help endoscopists improve the accuracy of diagnosis, and relieve patients' suffering.

Abstract
Objective: This study was designed to demonstrate the predictive ability of quantitative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography for the short-term postoperative outcome, the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF), and long-term graft survival. Summary Background Data: DGF is a relevant problem after kidney transplantation; sufficient microperfusion of the allograft is crucial for postoperative organ function. Fluorescence angiography with ICG can serve as an intraoperative quality control of microperfusion. Methods: This prospective diagnostic study, conducted in 2 German transplantation centers from November 2015 to October 2018, included 128 consecutive kidney transplantations. Intraoperative assessment of the allograft microperfusion was performed by near-infrared fluorescence angiography with ICG; a software was used for quantitative analysis. The associations between perfusion parameters (eg, ICG Ingress) and donor, recipient, peri-procedural, and postoperative characteristics were evaluated. Results: DGF occurred in 23 (24%) kidney recipients from deceased donors. ICG Ingress (P = 0.0027), donor age (P = 0.0452), recipient age (P = 0.0139), and recipient body mass index (P = 0.0017) were associated with DGF. ICG Ingress correlated significantly with recipient age (r = −0.27662, P = 0.0016), cold and warm ischemia time (r = −0.25204, P = 0.0082; r = −0.19778, P = 0.0283), operating time (r = −0.32208, P = 0.0002), eGFR on postoperative days 1 (r =+0.22674, P = 0.0104) and 7 (r = +0.33189, P = 0.0001). The cutoff value for ICG Ingress was 106.23 AU with sensitivity of 78.3% and specificity of 80.8% (P < 0.0001) for the prediction of DGF. Conclusion: Fluorescence angiography with ICG allows intraoperative quantitative assessment of microperfusion during kidney transplantation. The parameter ICG Ingress reflects recipient and procedure characteristics and is able to predict the incidence of DGF. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT-02775838

Abstract
BACKGROUND To retrospectively evaluate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative assessment of bowel perfusion in totally laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (IGFI). METHODS From October 2017 to June 2019, consecutive patients with colon cancer who underwent totally laparoscopic surgery were enrolled retrospectively and grouped into the IGFI group (n = 84) and control group (n = 105). In the IGFI group, indocyanine green (ICG) was injected intravenously, and the bowel perfusion was observed using a fluorescence camera system prior to and after completion of the anastomosis. RESULTS The two groups were demographically comparable. The IGFI group exhibited a significantly shorter operative time (p = 0.0374) while intraoperative blood loss did not significantly differ among the groups (p = 0.062). In the IGFI group, average time to perfusion fluorescence was 48.4 ± 14.0 s after ICG injection, and four patients (4.8%) were required to choose a more proximal point of resection due to the lack of adequate fluorescence at the point previously selected. There were no differences in terms of pathological outcomes, postoperative recovery and the postoperative complication rates between the groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION IGFI shows promise as a safe and feasible tool to assess bowel perfusion during a totally laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer and may reduce the operative time.
