Comparing two dyes in gastrointestinal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a tiny amount of a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) during surgery to see if it safely shows blood flow to the gut and urinary organs. It may help doctors check that these organs are getting enough blood during the operation.
This trial tests a special green dye that helps surgeons see blood flow in the bowel during surgery. It may help reduce complications after removing part of the bowel for diseases like cancer or diverticulitis.
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 a special dye and camera can help doctors see if the bowel connection made during surgery is healing well. It may help reduce complications after surgery for gynecologic cancers.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that is injected during surgery to help the surgeon see the blood flow to your colon and lymph nodes. It may help make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for colon cancer.
This study tests whether using a special dye during surgery helps people with stage III colorectal cancer stay cancer-free longer. The dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), makes tumors and lymph nodes glow under a special camera, helping surgeons remove them more precisely.
