Core Tip	Esophagectomy is a surgery known for its complexity and potentially high morbidity associated with postoperative anastomotic leakage (AL). This review evaluates Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICGA) as a safe, feasible and promising method to assess graft perfusion during esophageal reconstructive surgery. We discuss the safety, the methodology and the effectiveness of ICGA and its potential to reduce AL rate.
