Use of intraoperative Indocyanine green fluorescence to assess testicular perfusion and viability when managing testicular torsion in a 26-year old man

摘要

Testicular torsion is an urological emergency requiring early diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention for successful salvage. Decision for testicular salvage is made during surgery by assessing the color of the testis. We present a case where Indocyanine green fluorescence was used to assess testicular perfusion during surgery as an additional evaluation tool for testicular viability.
