Testing a dye to guide colorectal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 studies whether a fluorescent dye (a “tracer”) can help surgeons find the right area during laparoscopic distal (lower-part) stomach removal for early stomach cancer. It may improve how completely the cancer is removed while keeping surgery minimally invasive.
This study compares a special imaging dye (indocyanine green) that helps surgeons see blood flow in reconstructed tissue during head and neck surgery. The goal is to see if using this dye helps surgeons make better decisions about whether the reconstructed tissue will survive and heal properly.
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 trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
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.
