Abstract

In laparoscopic intersphincteric resection, identifying the dissection layer near the anus is often difficult. We safely proceeded with it, using indocyanine green‐containing gauze on the anal side to remove the internal anal sphincter with indocyanine green fluorography.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
