Summary

This study tested a new dye called ASP5354 that makes the ureter glow under a special camera during abdominal surgery. The goal was to help surgeons see the ureter more clearly and avoid accidentally injuring it. The study included 107 people aged 12 and older with normal or reduced kidney function. Surgeons injected the dye at the start of surgery and compared standard white-light images with near-infrared images to see which showed the ureter better.
