Intraoperative assessment of ureteral and graft reperfusion during robotic kidney transplantation with indocyanine green fluorescence videography: a pilot study and systematic review of the literature.

CONCLUSIONS: IFV during RAKT is feasible and safe and provides a reliable assessment of graft reperfusion. Larger studies are needed to standardize the technique and to evaluate the association between fluorescence signal, ultrasound parameters and postoperative kidney function.
