Robotic Retroperitoneal Lymphadenectomy Using Icg Dye For Intraoperative Ureter Identification

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates using ICG dye injected into ureters via a 5 French whistle tip catheter during robotic gynecologic cancer surgery for real-time ureter identification. The dye highlights the ureters under near-infrared imaging, aiding safe dissection around critical structures like the cardinal and utero-sacral ligaments, reducing operative time by about 12 minutes. This technique enhances identification of ureters even in complex cases with adhesions, minimizing risk of injury. The approach also facilitates sentinel lymph node mapping and safer retroperitoneal dissection, improving surgical precision and patient safety in procedures for endometrial and ovarian cancers.
