Using fingertip CRP point-of-care tests to spot leaks after elective colorectal surgery
This project will see if daily fingertip CRP point-of-care tests can detect anastomotic leaks early in people having elective colorectal surgery.
-
Gastric preconditioning before esophagectomy for patients at high risk of anastomotic leak
This registry will see if gastric preconditioning by percutaneous angioembolization before esophagectomy changes how often anastomotic leaks happen in people with esophageal cancer who are at high risk.
-
Signia circular stapler for left-sided colon, sigmoid, and rectal resections
This study will try the Signia circular stapler with Tri-Staple technology to see if it safely creates bowel reconnections in adults having left-sided colon, sigmoid, or rectal surgery.
-
Causes and outcomes of anastomotic leaks after colorectal surgery
This project will try to identify which pre-, intra-, and post-operative factors predict anastomotic leakage and build a prediction model for adults having colorectal resection with bowel reconnection.
-
Leakage risk after ileo-colic sutures using MonoPlus® following right hemicolectomy
This will try MonoPlus® suture material for ileo-colic anastomosis in adults having elective right hemicolectomy for colon cancer to see if the 30-day leakage rate is not higher than published rates.
-
Modified transanal drainage tube to prevent anastomotic leaks after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether placing a modified transanal drainage tube can reduce anastomotic leakage in adults having sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery.
-
Comparing early and late resumption of oral feeding after bowel surgery
This study tests whether starting to eat again within 24 hours after bowel surgery helps patients recover better than waiting 24 to 48 hours.
-
Comparing two surgical techniques for anal function after low rectal cancer surgery
This study is testing which of two surgical methods helps people with ultra-low rectal cancer have better bowel control and quality of life after surgery.
-
Using endoscopic vacuum therapy for treating defects in the upper gastrointestinal tract
This study is testing if endoscopic vacuum therapy can effectively treat serious problems in the upper digestive tract, like leaks and perforations, to help improve patient care.
