Glowing guide: new dye lights up hidden tubes to prevent surgical injury
NCT ID NCT05999747
Summary
This study tested a new fluorescent dye, ASP5354, to help surgeons see the ureter (the tube that carries urine) more clearly during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. The goal was to prevent rare but serious accidental injuries to this hard-to-see structure. During surgery, participants were injected with the dye, and surgeons compared how well they could see the ureter using standard white light versus a special near-infrared camera that makes the dye glow.
