Abstract
We used an infrared ureteral stent to aid in laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The patient was slender 31-year-old male. An infrared light emitting stent was used. With easy visualization of the ureter laparoscopic retroperineal lymph node dissection required 268 minutes. The infrared ureteral stent decreases the operative time of laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and makes it a safer and more acceptable treatment option.
