Abstract
Introduction
Despite a potential risk of bladder injury in laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and robot-assisted LH (RaLH), an intraoperative method for delineating the entire bladder with indocyanine green (ICG) has not been established.
Methods
We conducted a preliminary experiment using porcine bladders to verify the appropriate amount of ICG for intraoperative bladder visualization. Afterward, intraoperative bladder visualization was tried in LH and RaLH in two patients suspected of having adhesions around the bladder after previous abdominal surgery.
Results
Although near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence was well observed through the wall of the porcine bladder filled with ICG solution at a concentration of 0.024 mg/mL, the subsequent replacement of the ICG solution with saline made the NIR fluorescence brighter. In both patients, the bladder was successfully delineated by NIR fluorescence after filling the bladder with ICG solution and the subsequent washout with saline.
Conclusion
The ICG-Washout method for locating the bladder by NIR fluorescence could be useful in LH and RaLH.
