Fluorescence-Guided Surgery: Making the Invisible Visible

This episode will explore how fluorescenceguided surgery is reshaping precision surgery by allowing surgeons to visualize critical anatomy, such as blood flow, bile ducts, and tumors, that was previously invisible. Dr. Polites and Dr. Lautz are interested in discussing current and emerging applications across perfusion assessment, hepatobiliary surgery, and cancer care, including rare and novel use cases that are improving safety and outcomes, particularly in pediatrics. The conversation should also look ahead to how new fluorescent agents and continued innovation position fluorescenceguided surgery as a platform for the future of surgical care.
