Successful Robot-Assisted Resection of a Retroperitoneal Cystic Tumor With Fluorescent Ureteral Stent and Firefly Imaging. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction We present a technique that combines a fluorescent ureteral catheter with Firefly near‐infrared fluorescence imaging to identify the ureter and avoid injury during robot‐assisted resection of a retroperitoneal cystic tumor. Case Presentation Computed tomography revealed a 6‐cm retroperitoneal cystic mass anterior to the abdominal ...

Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the
