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.

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 dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
This trial tests whether using a special dye and near-infrared light during colon surgery can help doctors see blood flow to the bowel and prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected. It may help you avoid serious complications after surgery.
This trial tests if a special dye, injected during surgery, can help doctors see if a bowel connection is healing well. It is for women having gynecologic cancer surgery that includes removing part of the bowel.
This trial is for adults having planned colon surgery where the two ends of the colon are reconnected. It tests two different imaging techniques to see which one better shows blood flow during surgery, which could help reduce complications.
