Fluorescent imaging during urinary surgery to reduce strictures
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special imaging dye and camera during urinary diversion surgery can lower the chance of a future narrowing (a stricture). If you are having an open urinary diversion, this test may help surgeons see blood flow and work more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have an open urinary diversion surgery.
- You must be able to understand the study and provide informed consent.
- Your surgery plan must not be robotic-assisted (it needs to be open, not robotic).
- You must not be pregnant during the study period.

This study tests whether a special fluorescent camera during surgery can help surgeons better operate on resectable (removable) stomach or esophagus cancer. It may help improve how surgery is guided, with the goal of safer and more accurate tumor removal.
This trial checks blood flow to the bowel connection during rectal cancer surgery using a special light-based imaging method. The goal is to help the surgical team confirm the connection has good circulation, which may reduce complications.
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
This trial uses a flexible camera (ureterorenoscopy) to monitor the upper urinary tract after you've had kidney-sparing surgery for upper tract cancer. The goal is to catch any cancer recurrence early using this minimally invasive approach.
This trial tests a blue dye (Indigotindisulfonate Sodium) given during surgery to help doctors see if the tube from your kidney to bladder (ureter) is open. It's for people who are already having a surgery where that check is needed.
This trial checks whether using a dye (fluorescein) during certain gynecologic surgeries helps doctors get clearer information during the operation. It’s for people who are already planned for laparoscopic surgery for common gynecologic conditions or cancers.
