Background: Ureteral identification is essential to performing safe colorectal surgery. Injected immunofluorescence may aid with ureteral identification, but feasibility without ureteral catheterization is not well described.
Methods: Case series of robotic colorectal resections where indocyanine green (ICG) injection with or without ureteral catheter placement was performed.
