Workshop Highlights Advances in Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
Imagine doctors using special lights and dyes to see inside the body during surgery, like having super vision!
A workshop showed how this new method, called Fluorescence-Guided Surgery, helps doctors find tricky things like tumors and bile ducts more clearly.
This means they can be more precise, remove only what's needed, and keep the healthy parts safe.
Surgeons from different places came together to learn this new way of doing operations, which is expected to make surgeries safer and better, especially for cancer and other related issues.
A live surgical workshop highlighted advancements in Fluorescence-Guided Surgery (FGS).
The workshop focused on FGS in cancer and biliary surgery, including laparoscopic and open procedures.
Surgeons demonstrated real-time application of fluorescence imaging using near-infrared light and dyes.
The technique helps identify tumors, bile ducts, and lymph nodes to enhance surgical accuracy and reduce complications.
Over 150 surgeons and students from Odisha, Jharkhand, and West Bengal participated.
