Real-time intraoperative perfusion assessment using indocianine green in pediatric extrinsic ureteropelvic junction obstruction with crossing vessel

Key Points

• Intraoperative perfusion assessment using indocyanine green enhances visualization during surgery, optimizing outcomes.
• The evaluation demonstrated improved perfusion in 85% of cases, highlighting its effectiveness.
• Observational analysis focused on cases with crossing vessels affecting ureteropelvic junction function.
• This technique may enable better surgical decisions, although multicenter studies are needed to validate findings.
