First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special imaging system (SPY Fluorescence) used during throat surgery can lower the risk of a pharyngocutaneous fistula — a leak in the throat tube. The dye helps surgeons see and remove tissue with poor blood flow, which can cause infection and leaks. About 225 adults with throat cancer who have had prior radiation will take part. The main goal is to see if this approach reduces fistula rates within the first month after surgery.
