First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a green dye injected into the blood can help surgeons see bile ducts better during gallbladder removal for acute cholecystitis, compared to the standard contrast dye. 156 adults with mild to moderate gallbladder inflammation took part. The goal was to see if the green dye could reduce the risk of bile duct injury and shorten surgery time.
