Somatostatin with a clear liquid diet vs a diverting stoma after low rectal cancer surgery
Doctors will test whether giving somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet after ultra-low anterior resection can prevent severe leakage as well as a protective diverting stoma in adults with low or mid rectal cancer.
-
Early post-operative colonoscopy to detect anastomotic leakage after low colorectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether doing a colonoscopy 5–8 days after surgery helps find leakage sooner in people treated for low colorectal cancer.
-
Single-stapled colorectal anastomosis for left-sided colon surgery.
This will try a single-stapled method to reconnect the colon in adults having planned left-sided colorectal surgery to see if it lowers the risk of leaks compared with the usual double-stapled method.
-
Pre-emptive endoscopic vacuum therapy to reduce anastomotic leaks after colorectal cancer surgery
This will try using pre-emptive endoscopic vacuum therapy after colorectal cancer surgery to see if it lowers early anastomotic leaks in adults having radical colorectal operations.
-
Testing for leaks in colorectal surgery
This study is testing a new method to check for leaks during colorectal cancer surgery to see if it helps reduce complications after the operation.
-
Comparing stapler reinforcement patches to standard staplers in gastrojejunostomy procedures
This study tests if using special patches with staplers during gastric cancer surgery can help prevent complications like leaks compared to regular staplers.
-
Evaluating a new device to prevent stoma creation after colorectal surgery
This study is testing a new device to see if it can help prevent the need for a stoma after colorectal surgery in adults who are at risk of complications.
