The Role of Indocyanine Green for Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: Early Results, Limitations and Future Directions

The Role of Indocyanine Green for Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: Early Results, Limitations and Future Directions

The surgical management of small renal masses has continued to evolve, particularly with the advent of the robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). Recent studies at high volume institutions utilizing near infrared imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye to delineate renal tumor anatomy has g...
