Near-infrared spectroscopy is useful in assessing blood flow because it allows real-time monitoring and quantifying of tissue oxygen saturation. Herein, we report a case in which two intestinal resections were performed safely by using near-infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the blood flow at the anastomotic sites.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple cancers of the transverse colon and rectum. Laparoscopic transverse colon resection and low anterior resection were performed along with left colic artery-preserving lymphadenectomy, including tissues around the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery. After mesenteric dissection, the tissue oxygen saturation of the proximal side and distal side stumps were 93% and 87%, respectively. The tissue oxygen saturation of the anastomotic proximal side after mesenteric dissection was 76%, thus confirming sufficient blood flow.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Performance of transverse colon resection and low anterior resection for multiple cancers of the transverse colon and rectum resulted in blockage of the blood flow to the descending colon; therefore, it was necessary to preserve the blood flow to the descending colon by preserving the left colic artery. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to evaluate blood flow to the anastomotic sites, in order to perform the surgery safely.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Near-infrared spectroscopy is a safe, simple and low-cost method for assessing blood flow intraoperatively in conjunction with left colic artery-preserving surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.06.029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,27]],"date-time":"2018-06-27T22:53:56Z","timestamp":1530140036000},"page":"131-135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Left colic artery-preserving D3 lymphadenectomy using near-infrared spectroscopy was effective for double advanced cancers of the transverse colon and rectum"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Masateru","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Egi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masatoshi","family":"Kochi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shoichiro","family":"Mukai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideki","family":"Ohdan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-32-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"457","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-005-0271-y","article-title":"Tissue oxygen saturation during colorectal surgery measured by near-infrared spectroscopy: pilot study to predict anastomotic complications","volume":"30","author":"Hirano","year":"2006","journal-title":"World J.
