Intraoperative findings showing the ability of using a fluorescent ureteral catheter to visualize the ureter. a A white light image in the beginning of mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach: the location of the left ureter is unclear. b A near-infrared light image in the beginning of mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach: the left ureter was identifiable using the fluorescent ureteral catheter. c A schema in the beginning of mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach. d A white light image during mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach. e A near-infrared light image during mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach. f A schema during mobilizing the descending and sigmoid colons via a medial approach. The left ureter (white arrowhead), inferior mesenteric artery (white arrow), inferior mesenteric vein (yellow arrowhead), and renal isthmus (yellow arrow) are shown
