Blue dye test during incontinence surgery to reduce complications
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if using a special blue dye (methylene blue) during surgery to correct stress urinary incontinence helps doctors find and prevent complications. It compares two surgical methods (TVT and TOT) to see which is safer.

This study tests whether a blue dye called methylene blue can help surgeons identify the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters) during colorectal surgery. This may help avoid accidental injury to the ureters during the operation.
This trial tests whether giving a blue dye before surgery helps surgeons see and avoid the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, reducing the risk of injury during left-sided colorectal surgery.
This study tests whether injecting a blue dye into the rectum during surgery can help prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected, and reduce the chance of needing a permanent colostomy bag. It is for people with mid or low rectal cancer who are having a specific type of surgery.
This trial tests a blue dye (Indigotindisulfonate Sodium) given during surgery to help doctors see if the tube from your kidney to bladder (ureter) is open. It's for people who are already having a surgery where that check is needed.
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 trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
