Comparing two imaging methods for blood flow during colon surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective (planned, not emergency) surgery to remove part of your colon and reconnect your bowel.
- You are not having this surgery for palliative reasons (only to relieve symptoms, not to cure).
- There are no conditions that would make it hard to see the bowel during surgery (like severe blood flow problems in your limbs).
- You can agree to allow your surgical images to be used for research after the operation.

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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
