Lymphatic Injury Visualization in Vascular Surgery
Sponsor: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Summary
This study aims to assess a simple intervention: Visualization of lymphatic injury + treatment (in case of detection). This will generate data on the incidence of intraoperative lymphatic injury and the effect of treatment. This data will then hopefully enable a multi-center RCT to generate high level evidence on this matter.

Visualization of lymphatic injury and treatment of injury (in case of detection)
PatentBlau V application: 2ml will be injected intradermally around the groin wound. After allowing a maximum of 10 minutes for lymphatic uptake of the blue dye, a thorough inspection of the wound will be performed to detect possible lymphatic injuries, which will be visible by the blue color. Direct treatment (e.g. suture, clipping) of visible lymphatic injuries will be performed.
