| Summary: | Today, the "golden standard" for the treatment of aggressive forms of bladder cancer is radical cystectomy. An important stage is the pelvic lymphadenectomy. This procedure is crucial for staging the tumor process, determining the subsequent treatment tactics and improving the results of surgery. Currently, the concept of a signaling lymph node (LN) is actively developing, which allows reducing the necessary level of dissection of the pelvic LN. Reducing the number of resected LN increases the level of surgical safety of the patient. The leading method of intraoperative visualization of signal LN is the fluorescence of indocyanine green in the near infrared range of the spectrum. The prospects of this diagnostic method for radical cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer determine the vector of future scientific research in this area. |
