Ureteral Preservation Using Fluorescent Ureteral Catheter during Laparoscopic Resection of an Appendiceal Inflammatory Pseudotumor: A Case Report
To outline a successful technique for ureteral preservation during laparoscopic resection of an appendiceal tumor.
Utilized a fluorescent ureteral catheter for visual guidance during surgery.
Performed laparoscopic resection of an appendiceal inflammatory pseudotumor.
Employed careful surgical planning to distinguish between tumor and surrounding organs.
Successfully preserved the ureter during the surgery.
Confirmed the effectiveness of the fluorescent catheter in enhancing visualization.
Achieved safe resection of the appendiceal tumor without damaging adjacent structures.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: When a bulky intra-abdominal tumor cannot be clearly distinguished from a malignancy, careful surgical planning is required to preserve adjacent organs.
