Fluorescence imaging for rectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special dye to see blood flow during rectal cancer surgery can help reduce complications. If you are having laparoscopic or robotic surgery for rectal cancer, you might be able to join.

This study uses a special camera to look at blood flow in the rectum during rectal cancer surgery. It aims to help surgeons see how well blood is reaching the remaining tissue, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
This trial tests if a special imaging technique (fluorescence) can help doctors see how well blood is flowing to the bowel during emergency surgery for suspected mesenteric ischemia. This could help them decide which part of the bowel to remove, if any.
This trial studies whether a fluorescent dye used during an exam can help doctors map (find) lymph nodes in colon cancer. It may help improve how surgeons plan treatment and decide what to remove.
This study tests if a special dye can help surgeons see how well blood is flowing to the bowel after surgery, with the aim of reducing the risk of anastomotic leaks (where the joined parts of the bowel don't heal properly).
This trial tests whether using a special fluorescent dye during laparoscopic surgery helps surgeons better see and remove rectal or sigmoid colon cancer. The goal is to see if this technique makes the surgery more precise and possibly improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
