About

Nisar Zaidi is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the application of fluorescence imaging in minimally invasive surgery. His research primarily focuses on the intraoperative use of indocyanine green (ICG) to enhance surgical precision in complex oncologic and endocrine procedures. In a landmark 2016 study, Zaidi reported on the first use of ICG fluorescence imaging to guide liver tumor resections, demonstrating how real-time visualization of tumor margins could improve surgical outcomes—a paper that has since garnered 73 citations. He further expanded this technique to robotic adrenalectomy, showing that ICG guidance allows for safer, more accurate dissection of adrenal glands, a contribution cited 56 times. Zaidi has also been instrumental in advancing robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy, co-authoring a two-center study that established best practices for this scarless approach in the United States. His work bridges the gap between emerging optical imaging technologies and clinical application, helping to define a new standard for precision surgery. With his innovative use of ICG, Zaidi continues to shape how surgeons visualize and navigate critical anatomy, directly improving patient safety and outcomes.
