Core Tip	Yellow enhancement (YE) mode is an innovative imaging technique in laparoscopic surgery that enhances the contrast between adipose tissue and critical anatomical structures by converting pale-yellow fat into a fluorescent yellow-green hue. This real-time, dye-free modality aids surgeons in identifying surgical planes and vital structures such as vascular pedicles, ureters, and nerves, particularly in patients with obesity. Preliminary findings suggest that YE mode may improve surgical precision, reduce complications, and serve as a valuable tool in surgical training by shortening the learning curve for less experienced surgeons.
