PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after initiation of treatment

Population: Data was not collected nor analyzed at all for one participant in the Methylene Blue arm. The number of participants analyzed at each time point differs due to some participants completing their surgery earlier than others. Those participants were out of the surgical room by those time points and data was not collected nor analyzed.
