Session Title:
SNAP-630: New Frontiers in Fluorescence Guided Surgery - Beyond the Simple Uretral Painting or Sentinel Lymph Node Harvesting
Description:
In this 15 min talk we will try to open your eyes to this great technology that is becoming more popular. The first use in gynecology was the sentinel lymph node harvesting. Now, it is more common to see it used in surgeries for ureteral identification, although it also has more uses such as: Video angiography after ureteral shaving, or sigmoidectomies, ovarian perfusion checking after adnexal torsions, ovarian fibromas seeking, endometrioma wall nodule plotting. This talk will cover fluorescent coated devices such as vaginal/ rectal probes, along with tricks for handmade coated devices like uterine manipulators, circular staplers, and so on.
