Indocyanine green utility in uterine transplantation

The role of indocyanine green has been widely studied so far and numerous applications and benefits have been demonstrated. Therefore, the wide implementation of the method allowed a real time visualization of the vascular and lymphatic branches which should be preserved during different procedures in order to minimize the risk of postoperative complications. In the last years the method has been also proposed in order to achieve a real time visualization of uterine arteries during uterine transplantation, and therefore to maximize the chances of success of this demanding procedure. The aim of the current paper is to discuss about the utility of indocyanine green injection during uterine transplantation.
