Résumé

Urethral injury is a dreaded complication during laparoscopic, perineal and transanal surgery and is mainly a result of a failed visualization of the urethra. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the available literature on the near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging technique using contrast agents for the intra-operative visualization of the urethra.
