[Indocyanine green fluorescence to visualize the ureteric vascularization of kidney transplants: An exploratory study].

CONCLUSION: Infra-red fluorescence of indocyanine green could be a simple and innovative way to appreciate the transplant's ureteric vascularization during kidney transplantation. It could help surgeons to identify the level of ureter section and to decide the anastomosis technique, in order to limit urinary complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
