About
Dr. Zhiguo Tan is a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in the clinical application of fluorescence imaging technologies. His most prominent work centers on the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to revolutionize surgical precision. In his highly cited 2024 paper, Dr. Tan systematically details how ICG—a fluorescent dye selectively absorbed by the liver and excreted through the biliary system—enables real-time, intraoperative visualization of biliary anatomy and tumor margins. This breakthrough has significantly enhanced the safety and accuracy of complex hepatobiliary procedures, reducing the risk of bile duct injuries and improving oncological outcomes. With 23 citations in just its first year, this work underscores his profound impact on the field. Dr. Tan’s contributions are not merely technical; they represent a paradigm shift toward image-guided surgery, offering students and researchers a compelling model of how translational research can directly improve patient care. His ongoing work continues to push the boundaries of fluorescence-guided interventions, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in modern hepatobiliary surgery.
