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 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 blue dye (Indigotindisulfonate Sodium) given during surgery to help doctors see if the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) are open. It's for children having urological or gynecological procedures.
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.
This trial tests whether injecting methylene blue (a dye) into the area around the anus during hemorrhoid surgery can reduce pain after the operation. If you are having Milligan-Morgan surgery for mixed hemorrhoids, this study may help find a way to make your recovery more comfortable.
This study tests if using a blue dye called methylene blue during knee replacement surgery can help doctors see and clean out infections better. It may help people having a first-time knee replacement or those with an infected knee replacement.
This trial compares two ways of protecting the ureter during deep endometriosis surgery: placing a small tube (stent) versus using a green dye (indocyanine green) to see the ureter. The goal is to see if the dye works just as well but causes less pain and fewer side effects afterward.
