-Summary

This study is being done to find out if Spectrum Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye can help measure blood flow around an incision before and after the surgeon closes the incision with staples or sutures.

The Spectrum NIR imaging system uses a handheld camera that produces a special type of light that can help surgeons see things during surgery that are difficult to see with the naked eye, for example, cancer tissue versus healthy tissue. Spectrum NIR imaging has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a tool that is widely used during surgery.

ICG dye is a sterile solution that can be seen with Spectrum NIR imaging. This dye, used with Spectrum NIR imaging, allows surgeons to see blood flow to parts of the body during and after surgery. Making sure that there is enough blood flow to the surgical site helps to promote a less complicated recovery.

+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
Women having a LaparotomyExperimentalProcedure: Laparotomy; Other: ICG; Other: Spectrum NIR imaging systemThe first 10 patients enrolled will undergo skin closure with staples. The next 10 patients enrolled will undergo skin closure with a running subcuticular suture.to evaluate skin perfusion using the Spectrum NIR imaging system following intravenous injection of ICG in all patients. Patients will be assigned skin closure with either running subcuticular suture or skin staples in a sequential, nonrandomized fashion before the procedure. After the planned surgical procedure is complete, ICG will be injected intravenously. Video of the incision will be recorded. After skin closure is complete, a second intravenous bolus of ICG (same dose as previously injected) will be given. Video of the incision will again be recorded. Measurement of perfusion will subsequently be performed by video analysis at the previously described three predefined points along the incision after surgery is complete and again after skin closure.
  • Laparotomy (Procedure): Laparotomy via vertical midline incision and after the planned surgical procedure is complete.
  • ICG (Other): ICG will be injected intravenously ICG is a fluorescent iodide dye.
  • Spectrum NIR imaging system (Other): The Spectrum NIR imaging system uses a handheld camera that emits light in the NIR range.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • percentage of cases with successful perfusion measurements [1 year]: Feasibility will be determined by the percentage of cases with successful perfusion measurements.
