International Fluorescence Guided Surgery Congress 2023
Hotel Arena, Amsterdam

Directions

On November 2nd and 3rd, 2023, the international symposium on fluorescence-guided surgery will take place at Hotel Arena in Amsterdam. The symposium is organized by the Dutch Fluorescence Guided Surgery (DFGS) group and the International Society of Fluorescence Guided Surgery

Are you interested in delving deeper into fluorescence-guided surgery? Or perhaps you want to take your first leap into the world of near-infrared fluorescence imaging but are unsure where to start or how to approach it? In both cases, this symposium is the right place for you.

Program

The symposium is aimed at a broad clinical and scientific audience, including both experienced and inexperienced fluorescence users. Various examples of the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in daily practice will be discussed, as well as (fundamental) research on tumor-specific substances. Researchers and specialists from surgical specialties such as urology, transplant surgery, plastic surgery, ENT surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, and gynecology will be present. It is also highly suitable for interested technical physicians.

The interdisciplinary nature of the symposium offers a unique opportunity to learn from insights gained in other subspecialties that you may not be familiar with. As a participant of the symposium, you will also have the opportunity to get acquainted with fluorescence cameras from various manufacturers during lunch breaks. Accreditation has been requested for your association. 

More information about the program will soon be available on our website. Please find the program highlights below. The symposium will start Thursday at 2PM until 6PM, followed by a social event. On Friday the official program starts at 10AM until 5:15PM.
