Fig. 2 Main panel: infrared fluorescence composite view of three different images encompassing the whole lymphatic network visualised by indocyanine green injection into the subcutaneous tissue at the base of the scrotum. White arrowheads indicate lymphatic vein anastomosis sites where indocyanine green is drained by the blood flow and thus no longer visible. Scale bar: 3cm. Inset panel: magnified and digitally enhanced still photo of the lymphatic network of the testicle shown in the main panel.
