Checking fallopian tube openness during fibroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks if blue dye can safely travel through your fallopian tubes during a fibroid-removal surgery. It helps doctors understand if the fallopian tubes are open (not blocked) while you are already having a procedure to remove fibroids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery to remove uterine fibroids (myomectomy) while keeping your uterus.
- You must have at least one fallopian tube present (both tubes must not be missing).
- You should not have known fallopian tube disease, blockage, or prior tubal surgery.
- You must not be allergic to methylene blue dye or have a condition called G6PD deficiency.
- You must have a negative pregnancy test on the day of surgery.

This trial tests a dye (CYTALUX) that helps surgeons see endometrial cancer during surgery. You may be eligible if you have endometrial cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).
This trial checks if using a blue dye test on the remaining fallopian tube during surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy is safe and helpful. It aims to see if the other tube is open and working, which may help you understand your future fertility.
This study tests a new soft tube (catheter) that is placed into the fallopian tubes to deliver medicine or contrast. It may help with diagnosing or treating conditions related to the fallopian tubes, and the study is checking if it's safe and easy to use.
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 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.
