Glowing dye could prevent bile duct injuries in emergency gallbladder surgery

NCT ID NCT07481760

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a dye called indocyanine green (ICG), which makes bile ducts glow under special cameras, can reduce bile duct injuries and leaks during emergency gallbladder removal. About 296 adults with acute cholecystitis (inflamed gallbladder) will be randomly assigned to have surgery with or without the dye. The goal is to see if the dye helps surgeons avoid complications, leading to safer outcomes.
