Excerpt

Iatrogenic ureter injury is a serious complication during colorectal surgery with an incidence between 0.7% and 10% [1].

Intraureteral injection of indocyanine green (ICG) and visualization under near-infrared (NIR) light allows for real-time delineation of the ureters. This technology is helpful in preventing iatrogenic ureteric injury during pelvic surgery [2]. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show ureteric identification with ICG fluorescence during laparoscopic redo pouch surgery. …
