Green dye vs. ureter stent for endometriosis surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Women between 18 and 50 years old
- Scheduled for surgery (laparoscopic or robotic) to remove deep endometriosis, where a ureter stent is planned
- Not pregnant or suspected of being pregnant
- No known or suspected cancer
- No history of ureter injury from past surgery or trauma

This study looks at how deep endometriosis that affects the urinary tract (ureters and kidneys) impacts kidney function over time. It compares patients who had surgery for this condition at least two years ago with patients who are about to have surgery, to understand long-term kidney health.
This trial studies whether a computer (deep neural network) can better identify endometriosis in people with long-lasting pelvic pain using information from surgery. It may help doctors sort who has endometriosis more accurately when surgery is already planned.
This study compares two robotic surgery systems (Da Vinci and HUGO RAS) used to remove deep endometriosis. If you are scheduled for endometriosis surgery, participation could help doctors learn which robotic approach is more effective and safer.
This trial tests whether a special green dye (called indocyanine green) helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes that carry urine) more clearly during robot-assisted surgery for advanced endometriosis. This may help surgeons avoid accidentally injuring these tubes during surgery.
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 tests whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce side effects.
