First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested a new dye called ASP5354 that makes the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) glow under a special camera during abdominal surgery. 95 adults having abdominal surgery received the dye, and surgeons compared how well they could see the ureter with normal light versus the glowing dye. The goal was to see if the dye helps prevent accidental injury to the ureter.
