A Novel Technique Using Fluorescent Ureteral Catheter and Flexible Ureteroscope for Safe Laparoscopic Fenestration of Lymphocele after Kidney Transplantation

Figure 2

Intraoperative imaging in near-infrared mode. (a) The light source of the ureteroscope appears green. The thickened lymphocele wall is incised with a cautery hook while appropriately checking the light source of the ureteroscope in real time. (b) The fluorescent ureteral catheter in the bladder can be easily observed due to the green fluorescence. By compressing the cyst from the peritoneal cavity using forceps, the fluorescent catheter in the ureter can be safely checked (broken line). The light source of the ureteroscope is also visible as it appears green.
