This clinically focused masterclass provides an in-depth overview of Fluorescence-Guided Surgery (FGS) and its evolving role in contemporary surgical practice. Participants will explore the clinical application of fluorescence imaging for intraoperative perfusion assessment, tissue and anatomical visualization, lesion identification, and precision surgical navigation, while reviewing current standards, practical applications, emerging evidence, and advances in fluorescence technology. The programme is designed for surgeons, surgical specialists, residents, fellows, and healthcare professionals interested in image-guided surgery and the latest developments shaping precision surgical practice.
