147 Real-time intestinal perfusion assessment for anastomotic site selection using LSCI CONCLUSION The PerfusiX-Imaging® device provided visual feedback for assessing reduced intestine perfusion in ischemic loops, detecting perfusion differences between loops, and identifying the best perfused loop in a porcine model. The real-time 2D-perfusion maps offered immediate and continuous information on tissue perfusion, which may help to select optimal sites for anastomosis creation. Although surgeons were overall very satisfied with using the system, further research is required to validate the efficacy in clinical settings and its potential impact on surgical outcomes in patients.
