ELEPS technologies in Vladivostok: ICG navigation in the hands of the country’s leading surgeons
On May 19, 2026, a significant event for the region's medical community took place in Vladivostok at the Vladivostok Clinical Hospital No. 1 — a meeting of the Primorsky Krai Society of Surgeons. The key theme of the meeting was the integration of modern laparoscopic technologies into daily practice.
The central highlight of the program featured presentations and master classes by Mikhail Vladimirovich Kosachenko, Associate Professor of the Department of Faculty Surgery at RUDN University and Head of the Surgical Department at the "Olimp Clinic MARS" Medical Center (Moscow): “The Modern Concept of Safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy” and “Capabilities of ICG Fluorescence Navigation in Herniology.”
Master Class: Theory and Practice of "Live Surgery"
During the practical session, two surgeries were performed with a live broadcast from the operating room:
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy using ICG fluorescence navigation.
- Laparoscopic hernioplasty using ICG fluorescence navigation.
Both operations were successfully performed using flagship domestically-produced equipment — the "ELEPS" 4K ICG endoscopic imaging system.
The Only Russian Solution for ICG Navigation
The choice of equipment for master classes of this caliber was no coincidence. Today, ELEPS is the only developer and manufacturer in Russia to have created and officially registered with Roszdravnadzor a complete system for ICG-mode operation with 4K image quality.
Why is this important for the professional community?
- Technological Sovereignty: Russian surgeons are gaining access to fluorescence navigation techniques (visualization of bile ducts) using a fully domestic software and hardware complex.
- Patient Safety: As M.V. Kosachenko noted in his report, the concept of performing surgeries safely is inextricably linked to the quality of visualization. The ELEPS system provides ultra-high 4K clarity, minimizing the risk of intraoperative complications.
- Official Certification: Registration with Roszdravnadzor allows clinics across the country to legally and effectively implement ICG technologies as part of re-equipment and import substitution programs. (Endoscopic imaging system KTRU 26.60.12.119-00000374. Medical device type code 271790). The equipment is officially included in the GISP catalog, which guarantees compliance with the high standards of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and simplifies the integration process into state medical institutions.
The meeting of the Society of Surgeons in Vladivostok confirmed that Russian ELEPS technologies are not merely competing with global counterparts but are becoming a true standard in the development of high-tech medical care in the Far East.
