ICG dye for emergency gallbladder removal
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a special green dye (ICG) during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts better and reduce complications. It is for adults with acute cholecystitis who are having a planned laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with acute cholecystitis (inflamed gallbladder) using standard criteria.
- You are scheduled to have emergency keyhole surgery to remove your gallbladder during this hospital stay.
- You are able to give written consent before the surgery.
- You are not allergic to indocyanine green (ICG) dye, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your surgery is planned as keyhole surgery, not open surgery.

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 tests whether a special green dye helps surgeons see the bile duct more clearly during keyhole gallbladder removal. It may reduce the risk of injury.
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.
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.
