Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to evaluate the multifaceted clinical significance of fluorescent ureteral navigation (FUN) in colorectal cancer surgery by prospectively collecting multicenter data on treatment outcomes using near-infrared fluorescence ureteral catheters or the IRIS U Kit. Specifically, we will assess the impact of FUN on the incidence of ureteral injury, conversion to open surgery, R0 resection rate, pathological circumferential resection margin positivity rate, incidence of adverse events, and surgeon workload.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

the incidence of ureteral injury

Key secondary outcomes

1. Incidence of ureter-related complications within 90 days postoperatively
2. Incidence of postoperative complications within 30 days
3. Conversion rate to open surgery
4. The rate of positive circumferential resection margin in rectal cancer cases
5. R0 resection rate
6. Surgeon-reported subjective usefulness score (questionnaire on fluorescence visibility and utility, and NASA Raw Task Load Index [TLX] score)

Gender

Male and Female

Key inclusion criteria

1. Patients with colorectal cancer (including appendix, rectum, and anus) histologically diagnosed as malignant tumors (pap, tub, por, muc, sig, or med).
2. Patients aged between 18 and 85 years.
3. Patients judged by the attending physician to be at high risk of ureteral injury.
4. Patients undergoing surgery using fluorescent ureteral navigation (FUN) with either the NIRC fluorescent ureteral catheter or the IRIS U Kit.
5. Patients scheduled for minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robot-assisted).
6. Patients who have received a full explanation of the study, have sufficient understanding, and have provided written informed consent of their own free will prior to participation.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Patients requiring emergency surgery.
2. Patients scheduled to undergo open surgery or planned intraoperative conversion to open surgery (excluding laparotomy for reconstruction purposes).
3. Patients with severe comorbidities (e.g., cardiac disease, pulmonary disease, bleeding tendency, or poorly controlled hypertension or diabetes mellitus).
4. Patients deemed inappropriate for inclusion in the study by the principal investigator or sub-investigators.
