Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver objective real-time tissue perfusion and blood flow information intraoperatively. Primary Objective: To determine the feasibility of ActivSight™ in detecting and displaying tissue perfusion and blood flow in the conduit and foregut anastomoses in esophageal resection/reconstructive surgery. The investigators will compare the precision and accuracy among the naked eye inspection, ICG and LSCI in assessing the vascularity of the conduit.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults over 18 who need laparoscopic esophageal surgery. They must be able to understand the study, have normal organ function, and not suffer from severe breathing issues. People with allergies to ICG or iodides, pregnant women, those on certain drugs, or with chronic kidney problems can't join.
