摘要：Visualization of the surgically operated tissues is vital to improve surgical model animals including mouse. Urological surgeries for urethra include series of fine manipulations to treat the increasing number of birth defects such as hypospadias. Hence visualization of the urethral status is vital. Inappropriate urethral surgical procedure often leads to the incomplete wound healing and subsequent formation of urethro-cutaneous fistula or urethral stricture. Application of indocyanine green mediated visualization of the urethra was first performed in the current study. Indocyanine green revealed the bladder but not the urethral status in mouse. Antegrade injection of contrast agent into the bladder enabled to detect the urethral status in vivo. The visualization of the leakage of contrast agent from the operated region was shown as the state of urethral fistula in the current hypospadias mouse model and urethral stricture was also revealed. A second trial for contrast agent was performed after the initial operation and a tendency of accelerated urethral stricture was observed. Thus, assessment of post-surgical conditions of urogenital tissues can be improved by the current analyses on the urethral status.
