Abstract

Background: The differentiation of "viable" from "nonviable" bowel remains a challenge in the treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia. In this study, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) was used to investigate the viability of bowel tissue after ischemia and reperfusion in an animal model in vivo and in real time.
