Fluorescence Guided Surgery
Fluorescence guided surgery uses a fluorescent substance and a special microscope to see edges of the tumor more sharply during surgery.
Overview
This technique is also part of new emerging intraoperative technologies which help surgeons during the course of the surgery. Fluorescence guided surgery uses a fluorescent substance and a special microscope to see edges of the tumor more sharply. The substance lights up with a special blue light under the microscope, which helps the neurosurgeon in removing the tumor completely without hurting any surrounding healthy tissue. Studies have shown that tumors can be removed more effectively with this technique when compared with conventional methods.
Benefits
With the help of real-time visualization of the tumor during the course of the surgery, the precision of the surgery increases significantly and the chances of any injury are lowered. Applications of this image-guided surgery have evolved over the past several decades and the technique has now become widespread. It can illuminate tissues which may have been difficult to differentiate from its surroundings via other techniques.
