Predicting skin healing after mastectomy with reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special dye called ICG can help doctors predict skin healing problems after mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. If successful, it could help prevent skin loss and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special dye and camera during breast surgery can help doctors find complications early. It may help improve safety after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that makes cancer glow under a special camera during breast cancer surgery. Doctors want to find the best time to give the dye so they can see the cancer clearly and remove all of it in one operation.
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
This study tests whether using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during salvage laryngectomy can reduce the chance of a surgical “leak” (a fistula) in the throat area. If you’re having salvage surgery after prior radiation, it may help surgeons better see where to place tissue coverage to prevent complications.
This study tests a special dye that helps surgeons see breast cancer tissue and nearby lymph nodes more clearly during surgery. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
