Robotic adrenalectomy with or without a glowing dye to guide surgery
This trial compares two ways of doing robotic surgery to remove an adrenal gland: one with an extra dye that lights up the area to help the surgeon see, and one without. The dye is like a glowing marker that might help the surgeon be more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove your adrenal gland(s).
- Your surgery is planned to be done with robotic assistance.
- You are not allergic to iodine.
- Your surgery is not planned as laparoscopic or open surgery.

This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic vs robotic) to remove an adrenal gland. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at the results of surgeries for adrenal gland conditions, both non-cancerous and cancerous, to understand how well the treatments work.
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
This trial tests whether a special green dye (called indocyanine green) helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes that carry urine) more clearly during robot-assisted surgery for advanced endometriosis. This may help surgeons avoid accidentally injuring these tubes during surgery.
This study tests whether a robotic bronchoscope can help place a small mark of green dye (ICG) on lung nodules before surgery, so the surgeon can find and remove them more easily. This may help make the surgery more precise and reduce the chance of leaving some nodule behind.
This trial tests whether using a green dye (ICG) during robot-assisted prostate removal helps preserve urinary and sexual function. It is for men with localized prostate cancer and good baseline erectile function.
