Could a simple dye replace painful stents in endometriosis surgery?
NCT ID NCT06852248
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether using a dye (indocyanine green) to see the ureters during endometriosis surgery causes less pain than the usual method of placing temporary plastic stents. About 70 women aged 18-50 having deep endometriosis surgery will take part. The goal is to see if this dye method is feasible and acceptable before a larger trial.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Indocyanine green (ICG) dye
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a less painful alternative to ureteric stents during endometriosis surgery, reducing recovery discomfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply widely. The dye method might not be as effective at preventing ureter damage as stenting.
