Near infra‐red laparoscopic assessment of the adequacy of blood perfusion of intestinal anastomosis – a video vignette

Abdalla Mustafa reviewed and analysed available literature and wrote the manuscript. Mian Jabbar reviewed available literature on the topic. Muhammad Rashid was the radiologist who organized imaging studies used in this case. Martin Downey was involved in the surgery and supervised writing of the paper. Kawan Shalli was involved in the initial surgery, planned and created the new technique in restoring luminal continuity. Mr Shalli also supervised the writing of the paper and revision before submission to the journal.
