NCT04878094

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether using the PINPOINT imaging system intra-operatively can reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks and other complications after surgery for ovarian cancer, compared with standard intra-operative assessments alone. The PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence imaging system uses a special camera and a fluorescent (glowing) dye that can evaluate the blood flow of the bowel in real-time. If there is an area that appears concerning, the surgeon can correct the problem during the procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduction of the risk of 30-day postoperative anastomotic leak at the site of rectosigmoid resection, compared with standard intraoperative assessment alone

    To determine whether the use of NIR angiography assessment of perfusion at the time of rectosigmoid resection in a cohort of patients undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer reduces the risk of 30-day postoperative anastomotic leak at the site of rectosigmoid resection, compared with standard intraoperative assessment alone.

    45 days post procedure

Study Arms (2)

Arm A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Randomized to standard technique and assessment of anastomosis without the use of NIR angiography

Diagnostic Test: Endoscopy

Arm B

EXPERIMENTAL

Randomized to additional assessment of proximal colonic stump and anastomotic perfusion using NIR angiography

Diagnostic Test: Intravenous Indocyanine Green/ICG injectionDiagnostic Test: PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence imaging systemDiagnostic Test: Endoscopy

Interventions

Intravenous Indocyanine Green/ICG injection will be administered for visualization

Arm B
EndoscopyDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Standard technique and assessment of anastomosis without the use of NIR angiography

Arm AArm B

After resection the surgeon will use the PINPOINT imaging system to assess perfusion of the colonic stump. The intervention will again be used following establishment of the anastomosis, however this time via a proctoscope to visualize the proximal and distal ends of the rectosigmoid anastomosis.

Arm B
