Minimally invasive surgical creation of a peritoneal window for the treatment of lymphoceles post-kidney transplant is an effective procedure that comes with an elevated risk of iatrogenic injury to the urinary tract. Here, we present indocyanine green dye injection through a ureteral stent for intraoperative identification and avoidance of the transplant collecting system during peritoneal window creation. The procedure was successful and allowed for the resolution of the lymphocele without complication.
