Can a green dye help surgeons remove adrenal glands faster?
NCT ID NCT07813247
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic are comparing robotic adrenalectomy performed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging against the same operation without it. The study enrolls 55 adults scheduled for robotic adrenalectomy. The main measure is how long the adrenal dissection takes, to see whether the imaging changes the surgical workflow.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- indocyanine green fluorescence imaging during robotic adrenalectomy
- What this could lead to
- If it helps, this could give surgeons a clearer view during robotic adrenalectomy and shorten the dissection step.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study of 55 people, so any difference in dissection time may be modest or not hold up in wider practice. Indocyanine green carries a risk of allergic reaction, and people with an iodine allergy cannot take part.
