This technology allows surgeons to view biliary anatomy – that helps to process the food into usable form of energy for the body – with precision and clarity, making it easier to identify and remove the damaged parts. The newly installed technology provides 3D view of anatomy for better visualization and improves accuracy and safety of the procedure.
The newly installed technology has been used to treat a 63-year-old female patient who was presented to Dr. Sugi Subramaniam, HPB & Liver Transplant Surgeon at Fortis Hospital Vadapalani with acute gall bladder inflammation due to gallstones. Dr. Sugi and his team used Indocyanine Green with Endoscopic Near infra-red vision camera laparoscopic technology to remove the gall bladder.
