Fluorescence guided surgery (FGS) is a medical imaging technique used to generate real-time fluorescence image of the surgical region and guide a surgery. FGS is a promising technology that could potentially improve patients' outcomes and change the future of reconstructive and oncological procedures. As compared to traditional medical imaging techniques, fluorescence guided surgery is very low-cost and easy to operate, and system can provide real-time imaging during a surgery. Thus, FGS has been currently used for multiple surgical situations.
Market Statistics:
The global fluorescence guided surgery systems market is estimated to account for US$ 79.0 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2022.
Drivers:
Rise in demand for fluorescence guided surgery systems across the globe is expected to propel the growth of the global fluorescence guided surgery systems market during the forecast period. For instance, FGS is an imaging technique that helps surgeon to visualise different structures and types of tissue during a surgery that may not be as visible under white light conditions. In December 2019, UC San Diego launched centre for fluorescence-guided surgery. The centre will deliver a new caliber of surgical accuracy, allowing doctors to treat patients with tumors and complex diseases of all types with GPS-like precision.
Opportunities:
Rice in burden of cancer around the world is expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players in the fluorescence guided surgery systems market. For instance, FGS is a lifesaving imaging tool that lights up tumors and cancer cells or nerves and other anatomical features for easier identification and precise removal or preservation during surgeries. The prevalence of cancer rises dramatically with the age, most likely due to a build-up of risks for specific cancers that increase with the age. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020.

Restraints:
Stringent regulatory framework, side effects associated with fluoroscopy, and dearth of skilled professionals are major factors expected to hamper growth of the global fluorescence guided surgery systems market. For instance, as in many areas of medicine, there are risks associated with the use of fluoroscopy, which uses ionizing radiation to generate images of the body. Risks from exposure to radiation may include radiation-induced injuries to the skin and underlying tissues (burns), which occur shortly after the exposure, and radiation-induced cancers, which may occur sometime later in life.
