NCT ID NCT07129135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether filling the bladder with a blue dye before surgery helps surgeons avoid accidentally injuring the bladder or ureters during a cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta. Sixty women were randomly assigned to receive the dye or standard care. The goal was to see if the dye reduces urinary tract injuries and improves recovery.
