Researchers are testing whether indocyanine green, a harmless dye given during pancreas surgery, can help predict which patients might develop pancreatic leaks afterward. During your surgery, doctors will inject this dye into your bloodstream and take special images to measure blood flow in the pancreas. The goal is to figure out if these measurements can warn doctors ahead of time about which patients need extra monitoring or care.
Pancreatic leaks are a serious complication that can happen after pancreas surgery, but doctors don't currently have a reliable way to predict who will develop them during the operation itself. This study hopes that measuring blood flow with the dye will help identify at-risk patients early, so doctors can take steps to prevent problems before they start.

If you join this study, you will receive indocyanine green dye by IV during your already-planned pancreas surgery—no extra operations or visits are needed. During surgery, doctors will take special imaging pictures to measure how the dye flows through your pancreas after it is cut. After surgery, researchers will review your medical records to track whether you develop any complications. The study is observational, meaning doctors are watching and measuring, not testing a new surgical technique.
