About
Dr. N. Keller is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on intraoperative safety and the use of immunofluorescence agents in minimally invasive procedures. Their most notable contribution is the first documented report of anaphylactic shock to intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) during a robotic right colectomy, published in 2023. This landmark case study, which has already garnered 3 citations, challenges the prevailing assumption of ICG’s universal safety—a dye widely used to assess bowel perfusion and identify ureters in abdominal surgery. By documenting a severe adverse reaction in a patient who had previously tolerated the agent, Dr. Keller has alerted the surgical community to a rare but critical risk, prompting revisions to perioperative protocols and informed consent practices. This work underscores their commitment to advancing patient safety in robotic surgery, where real-time vascular assessment is paramount. Dr. Keller’s findings have been presented at major surgical conferences, influencing guidelines for ICG administration and emergency preparedness in operating rooms. Their research bridges the gap between innovation and clinical vigilance, making them a key voice in the evolving field of fluorescence-guided surgery.
