V11-05 LAPAROENDOSCOPIC SINGLE-SITE (LESS) VARICOCELECTOMY USING INDOCYANINE GREEN FLUORESCENCE (ICG) ANGIOGRAPHY

Retina: indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.

Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography of the choroid.

Indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) angiography of the choroid gives better visualization of the choroidal vessels than does fluorescein angiography. We found that the detachment of the pigment epithelium seems bigger on ICG than on fluorescein angiograms, and pigmented lesions are more clearly delineated.

Indocyanine green angiography.

A brief survey of the recent ophthalmic literature underscores a resurgence of interest in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). This imaging method may be particularly useful for the ophthalmologist, as it provides at least a theoretical advantage for improved imaging of the choroidal circulation when compared with fluorescein angiography. New temporal and spatial technological advances (that ...

Laparoendoscopic Single-Site (LESS) Pyeloplasty for Horseshoe Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pyeloplasty in horseshoe kidneys can be challenging due to aberrant vasculature, renal malrotation, and ectopic location. Fewer than 20 cases of minimally invasive (MIS) pyeloplasty in horseshoe kidneys have been reported in the literature to date. We herein report the first 2 cases of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) pyeloplasty for UPJ obstruction in horseshoe kid...

Upper Tract Urological Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Our objective is to report intermediate-term outcomes for patients who have undergone upper tract urologic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) at a single institution. METHODS From January 1, 2008, through November 30, 2012, 107 cases treated with LESS were identified, including pyeloplasty (n = 30), ureterolithotomy (n = 32), nephrectomy (n = 35; simple = 31...
