Study of ActivSight Imaging for Blood Flow in Left Colon Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special imaging system that helps surgeons see blood flow during left-sided colon surgery. It may help improve safety and outcomes by checking that the surgical connection has good blood supply.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic, robotic, or open left colon surgery where the surgeon will use a circular stapler to reconnect the colon 5 to 15 cm from the anus.
- You have no known allergy to ICG (a dye), iodine, or iodine-based dyes.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you have a negative pregnancy test before surgery.
- You have not had radiation therapy in the past.
- You do not have severe diverticulitis (Hinchey grade 3 or 4).
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form and follow study procedures.

This trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
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 trial tests a new marker that glows under special light to help doctors see exactly where a colon tumor is during surgery. It may help make the surgery more precise.
This trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
This trial is for adults having planned colon surgery where the two ends of the colon are reconnected. It tests two different imaging techniques to see which one better shows blood flow during surgery, which could help reduce complications.
This trial tests whether adding a special dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer helps the surgeon see and remove more lymph nodes. The goal is to improve cancer removal without adding extra risks.
