Implication

Case report demonstrates safe robotic sigmoidectomy using fluorescent ureteral catheters in a man with advanced cancer, suggesting improved surgical safety.

Key Points

To report the safe use of fluorescent ureteral catheters during robotic surgery for sigmoid colon cancer to avoid injury.
Conducted a robotic sigmoidectomy with intraoperative navigation using fluorescent ureteral stents.
Patient had undergone three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy leading to tumor shrinkage.
Visualized dissection plane facilitated by the fluorescent catheter during surgery.
Operation was successfully completed without intraoperative injury.
Pathological examination showed negative surgical margins.
No recurrence observed two years post-surgery.
