Comparing dye doses for clearer bile duct images during gallbladder surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests two different doses of a special dye (indocyanine green) to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view of the bile ducts during gallbladder removal. The goal is to help make the surgery safer and reduce the risk of injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a gallbladder condition (symptomatic gallstones or polyps) and are scheduled for keyhole surgery to remove it.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe chronic kidney disease, thyroid disease, or allergies to the dye or iodine-based contrast materials.
- You are not having emergency surgery or open (non-keyhole) surgery, and there is no suspicion of gallbladder cancer.

This study tests whether using a green dye during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts more clearly, which may reduce complications. If you are having urgent gallbladder surgery, this could make your operation safer.
This study tests if using a special dye that glows under a camera can help surgeons see the bile duct more clearly during gallbladder removal. This may make the surgery safer.
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods—laparoscopic ultrasound and fluorescence cholangiography—to help surgeons see bile ducts more clearly during a difficult gallbladder removal. It aims to make the surgery safer for patients like you.
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
This study tests a tiny amount of a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) during surgery to see if it safely shows blood flow to the gut and urinary organs. It may help doctors check that these organs are getting enough blood during the operation.
