Comparing two imaging methods for colon surgery blood flow
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) colon surgery where the colon will be reconnected.
- You can agree to let the research team review images taken during your surgery after the procedure.
- You do not have severe blood flow problems that could affect the imaging.

This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
This trial tests a technique during colon or rectal surgery to preserve a specific blood vessel (the left colic artery) that helps keep the remaining colon healthy. It is for people with left colon, rectal, or ovarian cancer who are scheduled for 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 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.
This trial tests whether using a special dye and near-infrared light during colon surgery can help doctors see blood flow to the bowel and prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected. It may help you avoid serious complications after surgery.
This study tests a special imaging camera that measures blood flow in your leg before, during, and after surgery to improve the artery. The goal is to help doctors see in real time whether the surgery is working properly.
