Glowing dye may make pancreatic surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07656571
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares two types of keyhole surgery to remove the tail of the pancreas. One uses a dye called indocyanine green that glows under special lights, helping surgeons see blood flow and decide where to cut. The other is the standard procedure without the dye. The goal is to see if the dye reduces the risk of a pancreatic fistula, a common and serious leak of digestive fluids. Adults needing this surgery for tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas may join.
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 it works, this could make laparoscopic pancreatic surgery safer by reducing the risk of a serious complication called pancreatic fistula.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to all patients. The dye may not improve outcomes, and there are always risks from surgery itself.
