Conventional ureteral identification techniques, including stents and methylene blue, have recognized limitations. Indocyanine green (ICG) with near\u2010infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging enables real\u2010time ureter visualization, but clinical evidence remains scattered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To systematically evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of intraureteral ICG for ureteral identification in gynecologic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Search Strategy<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic literature search of multiple databases was performed for studies published between 2000 and 2025 using keywords related to ICG, ureter, gynecologic surgery, and intraoperative fluorescence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Selection Criteria<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies reporting intraureteral ICG use for ureteral identification during gynecologic surgery were eligible.
