| Abstract |
In gastrointestinal cancer surgery, particularly in early cancer, accurate tumor localization is important in order to determine the extent of resection. In laparoscopic surgery, because of the inability to palpate the lesion, the most prevalent method of localization is endoscopic tattooing. However, complicated maneuvering makes it difficult to control local dye spreading and dye leakage into the intraperitoneal cavity. A simpler, safe method is needed. In this study, we developed a novel method for applying fluorescence-coated endoscopic clips to visualize locations inside the colon during laparoscopic surgery. We tested the procedure in an in vivo porcine model and with ex vivo human colon tissues. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 May 2014.
All research outputs
#14,651,224
of 22,751,628 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#3,500
of 6,019 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,888
of 220,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#133
of 168 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,751,628 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,019 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 220,976 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 168 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
