A Novel Method for Near‐infrared Fluorescence Imaging of the Urethra During Perineal and Transanal Surgery: Demonstration in a Cadaveric Model

Publications

ABSTRACT Aim Transanal total mesorectal excision is a promising novel sphincter‐saving procedure for low rectal cancer. However, the transanal bottom‐up dissection is associated with increased rates of iatrogenic urethral injuries. Near‐infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, given its deeper tissue penetration, has been explored in a limited number of studies for enhanced intra‐operative urethral visualization. In this…
