equipping every OR with near-
infrared fluorescence imaging. He
estimates the total cost for the
entire project is about the same
price of a single robotic surgery
system.
Is it the next new norm?
What would Dr. Schlachta tell a
fellow surgeon about near-
infrared fluorescence? "This is
something that's going to change
the way you do surgery," he says.
"If you don't have it in your OR
now, you're going to be using it
eventually."
One reason for that inevitable
ubiquity is the technology's range
of potential applications, which
go well beyond cancer identifica-
tion. Dr. Schlachta cites an exam-
ple from his own experience:
addressing blood flow concerns,
particularly where there's an
anastomosis of the bowel or
colon.
"It allows you to see whether
the tissue you're trying to put
back together is perfused," he
explains. "Surgeons worry about
whether anastomoses are going to
