Summary
This study tests whether using a special dye and camera during throat surgery can help surgeons see and remove poorly blood-supplied tissue, reducing the chance of a painful leak called pharyngocutaneous fistula. About 225 adults with throat cancer who have had prior radiation will be enrolled. The imaging takes just one minute during surgery, and patients are followed for one month after.
