Summary

This pilot study tests whether a special dye and near-infrared camera can help surgeons see blood flow in tissue flaps used for reconstruction after gynecologic cancer surgery. Fifteen women will receive an ICG dye injection during surgery, and the surgeon will use the images to decide if any changes are needed. The goal is to see if this technique improves surgical planning and outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: ICG (indocyanine green) dye injection
What this could lead to: If successful, this imaging technique could help surgeons make better decisions during reconstruction, potentially reducing complications like poor wound healing.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (15 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The dye can cause allergic reactions in rare cases.
