Using a dye to find ureters during robotic surgery for endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) injected during robot-assisted surgery helps doctors see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) more clearly. It's for people with advanced endometriosis (stage III or IV) who are having surgery to remove endometriosis tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stage III or IV endometriosis based on a standard medical classification system.
- You are scheduled for a robot-assisted surgery to remove endometriosis through the abdomen, with or without also removing the uterus.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not pregnant at the time of the study.
- You are not in prison, have no mental disability, and can make your own decisions.

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 dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
This trial tests if a special dye, injected during surgery, can help doctors see if a bowel connection is healing well. It is for women having gynecologic cancer surgery that includes removing part of the bowel.
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 whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce side effects.
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.
