From: Evaluation of surgical procedures of mouse urethra by visualization and the formation of fistula
An illustration showing the experimental diagram. (A) Surgical procedures and subsequent analyses on the status of operated bladder and ureter/urethra are shown. Various experimental strategies including ICG and CA-mediated visualization were adapted to analyze the status of bladder and urethra. After performing anesthesia and surgical procedures, in vivo imaging utilizing IVIS imaging devise was performed with various parameters of exposure time. Antegrade urethrography was performed. (B) After the general anesthesia and surgical procedures (white arrowhead), the mouse was placed oblique position and penis was fixed with tension by 7-0 PDS stay suture (white arrow) and CA was injected through butterfly needle.
