A Prospective Study Assessing ActivSight Imaging for Intraoperative Perfusion Evaluation in Left-Sided Colectomy

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the clinical utility of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence angiography and Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) in assessing intraoperative tissue perfusion at the anastomotic site during colorectal resection in \[describe participant population/primary condition; could include any of the following: sex/gender, age groups, healthy volunteers\]. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: What is the clinical utility of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence angiography compared to Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) in assessing intraoperative tissue perfusion at the anastomotic site during colorectal resection? Participants will undergo a laparoscopic/robotic (where an extracorporeal anastomosis formed)/open colectomy with ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery and a planned anastomosis of 5cm to 15 cm from the anal verge where both ICG and LSCI modalities will be applied to all subjects.

This is a single-arm, prospective, non-randomized, within-patient crossover study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) using ActivSight™ as an advanced intraoperative visualization tool for assessing tissue perfusion in left-sided colectomies. The standard of care-Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence angiography-will be used concurrently to compare perfusion assessment capabilities between the two imaging modalities. The study will also explore the potential of LSCI in reducing the incidence of anastomotic leak (AL) and related postoperative complications. Participants will undergo left-sided colorectal resection (high or low) with planned anastomosis 5 - 15cm from the anal verge using a circular stapler. The procedure may be performed using either a laparoscopic, open or robotic approach with standard surgical equipment based on the surgeon's standard technique. * High anterior resection is defined as resection and anastomosis above the peritoneal reflection. * Low anterior resection refers to resection and anastomosis below the peritoneal reflection. The specific operative technique, including the method of stapled will be at the discretion of the operating surgeon. The level of colonic transection, formation of an anastomosis, and any defunctioning stoma will be performed in accordance with the surgeon's standard clinical practice
