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 injecting a blue dye into the remaining fallopian tube during surgery can help see if it's working properly, after one tube is removed due to an ectopic pregnancy. It may help guide future fertility decisions.
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 checks whether using a dye (fluorescein) during certain gynecologic surgeries helps doctors get clearer information during the operation. It’s for people who are already planned for laparoscopic surgery for common gynecologic conditions or cancers.
This trial tests a new device designed to safely remove uterine fibroids (benign growths in the uterus) during minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery while preserving your uterus. The goal is to see if this device makes the procedure faster and safer for women who want to keep their uterus.
