Successful Robot‐Assisted Resection of a Retroperitoneal Cystic Tumor With Fluorescent Ureteral Stent and Firefly Imaging
We demonstrated the feasibility and clinical benefits of integrating a fluorescent ureteral catheter with Firefly fluorescence imaging for intraoperative ureteral identification during robot-assisted surgery. This fluorescence-guided approach improves dissection accuracy and helps prevent ureteral injury.
