U.S., Oct. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07861815) titled 'Assessing the Feasibility of Using Methylene Blue in Identifying Ureters During Colorectal Surgery' on Oct. 01.
Brief Summary: This study will assess whether methylene blue fluorescence imaging can help surgeons identify the ureters during colorectal surgery. Methylene blue, given through a vein during the operation, is taken up and excreted by the kidneys, allowing the ureters to appear under a special fluorescence camera system.
