Inclusion Criteria: * Subject is scheduled for laparoscopic/robotic (where an extracorporeal anastomosis formed)/open colectomy with ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery and a planned anastomosis of 5cm to 15 cm from the anal verge using a circular stapler only * A negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential prior to surgery * Participants who are able and willing to complete required study procedures * Participants who are able and willing to provide a signed and dated ICF Exclusion Criteria: * Subject has a previous history of adverse reaction or known allergy to ICG, iodine or iodine dyes * Subject who receives hand sewn anastomosis * Subject has any medical condition, which in the judgment of the Investigator and/or designee makes the subject a poor candidate for the study procedure * Subject has a previous history of radiation therapy * Subject that has Hinchey 3 and 4 diverticulitis * Subject is a pregnant or lactating female
