Intraoperative Fluorescence Could Revolutionize Prostate Surgery

February 10, 2026

Intraoperative Fluorescence Could Revolutionize Prostate Surgery

In the latest episode of the Surgical Readings podcast, host Dr. Rick Greene speaks with urologist Dr. Samuel Gold about using intraoperative fluorescence to illuminate nerve structures during robotic-assisted prostatectomy. Dr. Gold’s phase-1 study, published in JAMA Surgery, found that the fluorophore was generally well tolerated and clinically effective, which could revolutionize prostatic surgery and lead to wider applicability.
