Seeing the ureters during belly or pelvic surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a dye called Lumitrace that helps surgeons see the tubes connecting your kidneys to your bladder (ureters) during minimally invasive surgery in the belly or pelvis. It might help prevent accidental injury to these tubes during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and scheduled for minimally invasive surgery in the belly or pelvis where finding the ureters may be needed.
- Your kidney function is good (eGFR 60 or higher).
- You are not pregnant and agree to use birth control (if female) or practice abstinence / use birth control (if male) for 30 days after getting the dye.
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection needing antibiotics.
- You do not have severe heart disease that limits daily activities.

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 tests a blue dye (Bludigo) to help doctors see if the ureters are open during surgery. It is for people with normal or reduced kidney function who need a procedure where the ureters are checked.
This trial tests an injection called IS-001 during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons see the ureters more clearly, which could reduce the risk of injury.
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
