Everything looks better in green: Practical uses of indocyanine green in small animal surgery
20 Nov 2026
Antech Academy
Fluorescence-guided surgery is rapidly moving from an emerging technology to a practical tool that can change intraoperative decision-making. Through a series of real clinical cases— feline thyroidectomy, ovarian remnant syndrome, and an unusual oesophageal foreign body—this lecture explores how indocyanine green (ICG) and near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) can complement advanced imaging and laboratory diagnostics to answer questions that conventional surgery cannot. From identifying critical anatomy and assessing tissue perfusion to guiding oncologic surgery, discover where fluorescence imaging adds real clinical value—and where it may change the way you operate.
- Understand when and how to use ICG/NIR fluorescence in small animal surgery.
- Learn how fluorescence imaging can identify critical anatomy and occult disease intraoperatively.
- See how NIRF can assess tissue perfusion and guide surgical decision-making in real time.
- Gain practical insights from clinical cases including feline thyroidectomy, ovarian remnant syndrome, and gastrointestinal viability.
