Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Women having a Laparotomy
The first 10 patients enrolled will undergo skin closure with staples. The next 10 patients enrolled will undergo skin closure with a running subcuticular suture.to evaluate skin perfusion using the Spectrum NIR imaging system following intravenous injection of ICG in all patients. Patients will be assigned skin closure with either running subcuticular suture or skin staples in a sequential, nonrandomized fashion before the procedure. After the planned surgical procedure is complete, ICG will be injected intravenously. Video of the incision will be recorded. After skin closure is complete, a second intravenous bolus of ICG (same dose as previously injected) will be given. Video of the incision will again be recorded. Measurement of perfusion will subsequently be performed by video analysis at the previously described three predefined points along the incision after surgery is complete and again after skin closure.
