Imaging tool to check blood flow during left colon surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see blood flow in the colon during surgery. It may help make sure the surgery is safer and more successful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part of your left colon (colectomy).
- The surgery can be done with small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic) or a larger incision (open).
- The surgeon will reconnect the remaining parts of your colon with a stapler.
- You are not allergic to iodine, iodine dyes, or an imaging dye called ICG.
- You have not had radiation therapy to your abdomen or pelvis before.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you have a negative pregnancy test before surgery.

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 if a special dye can help surgeons see how well blood is flowing to the bowel after surgery, with the aim of reducing the risk of anastomotic leaks (where the joined parts of the bowel don't heal properly).
This study tests two imaging methods to check blood flow in the bowel during colon surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see which part of the bowel is healthy enough to reconnect, potentially reducing the risk of leaks after surgery.
This study uses a special camera to look at blood flow in the rectum during rectal cancer surgery. It aims to help surgeons see how well blood is reaching the remaining tissue, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
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 uses a special dye called ICG that is injected during surgery to help the surgeon see the blood flow to your colon and lymph nodes. It may help make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for colon cancer.
