ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a liver tumor and your doctor has recommended a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery.
- You have had a special MRI scan with contrast dye within the last 6 weeks before surgery.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not allergic to iodine and do not have kidney failure or certain thyroid conditions.
- You have not had previous liver surgery.

This study tests whether using a green dye during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts more clearly, which may reduce complications. If you are having urgent gallbladder surgery, this could make your operation safer.
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.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons see liver tumors more clearly during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. A special dye (ICG) is used with a camera to guide the surgeon in removing just the right part of the liver. It may lead to safer and more precise surgery for people with liver cancer.
This trial tests whether a special dye (ICG) seen during your surgery can help doctors better identify the edges of a tumor in bone or soft tissue. It may help ensure as much of the tumor is removed as safely as possible.
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.
