Green dye to find ureters in robotic endometriosis surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stage III or IV endometriosis (advanced).
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted surgery to remove endometriosis, with or without hysterectomy.
- You are not in a vulnerable group: not a prisoner, not under 18, not pregnant, and without mental disabilities or cognitive impairment.

This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see better during laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery for achalasia. It may improve the safety and success of the procedure.
This trial tests whether using a green dye (called indocyanine green) during minimally invasive surgery can help the surgeon see and remove lymph nodes more effectively for stomach cancer. The dye is injected near the tumor and may improve the accuracy of lymph node removal, which could help reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
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.
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 a special dye (indocyanine green) given through a vein can help doctors see the exact edges and depth of early-stage esophageal or stomach cancer during a minimally invasive procedure to remove it. If you are scheduled for this procedure, the dye may help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely.
This trial tests whether a special dye and camera can help doctors see if the bowel connection made during surgery is healing well. It may help reduce complications after surgery for gynecologic cancers.
