Clinical Guidelines of the Russian Society of Surgeons and the Russian Gastroenterological Association for the Treatment of Acute Calculous Cholecystitis
Modern surgery is moving toward the "safety first" principle. The latest Clinical Guidelines of the Russian Ministry of Health for the Treatment of Cholecystitis (2024) explicitly emphasize the need for intraoperative imaging to reduce risks. ElePS offers Russian medical institutions a high-tech and affordable solution—an indocyanine green (ICG)-based fluorescence imaging system.
Safety Under Control: A Clinical Guideline Requirement
According to current clinical guidelines (ID: 653, approved 2024), the key element of safe cholecystectomy is adherence to the "Critical View of Safety" principle.
The document emphasizes: "To clarify anatomical relationships, operative cholangiography (A06.14.003 Operative and Postoperative Cholangiography) can be used through the cystic duct or gallbladder neck, intraoperative ultrasound, or ICG imaging (if technically feasible).
Until recently, ICG technology was the preserve of expensive, premium equipment, making it inaccessible to a wide range of hospitals. Eleps engineers have solved this problem.
ICG from Eleps: High technology at a reasonable price
The ICG imaging system developed by Eleps specialists allows for real-time assessment of bile duct anatomy without changing the usual surgical procedure.
Why is choosing the Eleps system a strategic decision for your clinic?
1. We have developed a solution that is technically comparable to foreign analogues, but at a significantly lower cost. This makes the use of ICG technology economically feasible for hospitals of all levels—from central regional hospitals to federal centers.
2. Risk and cost reduction: Using ICG imaging allows the surgeon to clearly identify anatomical structures, which critically reduces the risk of injury to the common bile duct.
3. Ease of integration: The system was developed with the realities of Russian operating rooms in mind. It is intuitive, requires no extensive staff training, and easily integrates into existing laparoscopic equipment. The development of the affordable Eleps ICG system is an important step in import substitution and the technological sovereignty of our medicine. Eleps doesn't just manufacture equipment; we offer a comprehensive solution for improving surgical safety that aligns with the latest global and Russian trends.
The use of indocyanine green with Eleps equipment allows surgeons to see what is invisible to the naked eye, making surgeries safer and more predictable.
