    Dye spraying during colonoscopy improves visualization of mucosal changes. Indigocarmine aids diagnosis, while methylene blue staining reflects ulcerative colitis healing stages.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Colonofiberscopy is crucial for diagnosing colonic diseases.
    • Visualizing subtle mucosal changes can be challenging.
    • Ulcerative colitis diagnosis and staging require accurate assessment of mucosal inflammation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of dye spraying in colonofiberscopy for improved mucosal visualization.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of indigocarmine and methylene blue staining in differentiating colonic conditions.
    • To correlate methylene blue staining patterns with the healing stages of ulcerative colitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Dye spraying colonofiberscopy was performed on 111 normal colonic mucosa cases and 26 ulcerative colitis cases.

  • Indigocarmine was used to enhance visualization of fine mucosal details.
  • Methylene blue, an ultra-vital stain, was applied to assess mucosal stainability in relation to disease activity.

    • Main Results:

    • The dye spraying method, particularly with indigocarmine, facilitated easier and clearer recognition of fine mucosal changes.
    • Enhanced visualization provided better information for differential diagnosis.
    • Methylene blue staining intensity varied according to the inflammatory stage in ulcerative colitis, correlating with the healing process.

    Conclusions:

    • Dye spraying is a valuable adjunct to colonofiberscopy for improved diagnostic accuracy.
    • Indigocarmine enhances the detection of subtle mucosal abnormalities.
    • Methylene blue staining offers insights into the dynamic healing process of ulcerative colitis.
