Green dye imaging to improve bowel surgery outcomes
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see better during laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery for achalasia. It may improve the safety and success of the procedure.
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 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 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 study tests whether using a green dye (called indocyanine green) during keyhole surgery helps doctors find and remove lymph nodes more accurately in stomach cancer. It may help reduce the chance of leaving cancer behind.
