The purpose of this study is to find out whether using the PINPOINT imaging system intra-operatively can reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks and other complications after surgery for ovarian cancer, compared with standard intra-operative assessments alone. The PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence imaging system uses a special camera and a fluorescent (glowing) dye that can evaluate the blood flow of the bowel in real-time. If there is an area that appears concerning, the surgeon can correct the problem during the procedure.

Intravenous Indocyanine Green/ICG injection will be administered for visualization
After resection the surgeon will use the PINPOINT imaging system to assess perfusion of the colonic stump. The intervention will again be used following establishment of the anastomosis, however this time via a proctoscope to visualize the proximal and distal ends of the rectosigmoid anastomosis.
Standard technique and assessment of anastomosis without the use of NIR angiography

RECRUITINGReduction of the risk of 30-day postoperative anastomotic leak at the site of rectosigmoid resection, compared with standard intraoperative assessment alone
To determine whether the use of NIR angiography assessment of perfusion at the time of rectosigmoid resection in a cohort of patients undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer reduces the risk of 30-day postoperative anastomotic leak at the site of rectosigmoid resection, compared with standard intraoperative assessment alone.
Time frame: 45 days post procedure
