However, the impact of these methods on the microcirculation remains unclear. This study used laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) to objectively assess the impact of hand-sewn and stapled techniques on microcirculation in a porcine model during open surgery and examined microcirculatory changes during hypotension and norepinephrine (NE) correction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Ten healthy female pigs underwent midline laparotomy, with one hand-sewn and one stapled anastomosis in both the small intestine and colon.

Hypotension worsened microcirculation in all anastomosis types, and NE infusion did not improve microcirculation despite increased and stabilized mean arterial pressure (MAP).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stapled anastomoses initially exhibited superior microcirculation compared with hand-sewn anastomoses, but the disparity disappeared after 1\u00a0h. Hypotension significantly impairs simple anastomotic microcirculation. Moreover, while NE is effective in stabilizing the general blood pressure, it contributed to further diminishment in intestinal microcirculation, especially around anastomoses. Thus, the use of NE postoperatively may be considered a risk factor for anastomotic leakage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-025-03195-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,19]],"date-time":"2025-07-19T07:33:55Z","timestamp":1752910435000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of anastomotic technique and norepinephrine on microcirculation in colorectal surgery: findings from a porcine model using laser speckle contrast imaging"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-2662-4851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.","family":"Paramasivam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Ambrus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.
