Green dye imaging for emergency gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
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, a sudden inflammation of the gallbladder.
- You are scheduled for emergency laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder removal.
- You can give written consent before the surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an allergy to indocyanine green dye.

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 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 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 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 tests a special green dye that helps surgeons see blood flow in the bowel during surgery. It may help reduce complications after removing part of the bowel for diseases like cancer or diverticulitis.
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.
