Heart rate variability and delirium after major abdominal surgery in older adults
This study looks at whether heart rate variability (a measure of your heart's ability to adapt to stress) can help predict delirium (confusion or disorientation) after major abdominal surgery in older adults. You may qualify if you are 65-85 years old, having major abdominal surgery, and do not have serious heart, nervous system, or memory problems.

Laparoscopic surgery for stomach GIST by tumor site
This trial studies whether doing laparoscopic surgery for stomach GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) works and is safe when the tumor is in a “favorable” versus “unfavorable” location. You might be eligible if your tumor is confirmed as GIST and doctors expect to remove it completely using keyhole surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07023991Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine for children's lower abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine (a sedative) to bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) improves pain relief from a nerve block in young children having lower belly surgery. The goal is to see if the combination provides better or longer-lasting pain control.
Cairo, EgyptAges 1–7 - NCT07019246Recruiting
Sedative drug mix for elderly abdominal surgery patients
This trial tests whether a mix of two sedative drugs (etomidate and propofol) is safer than using propofol alone for elderly patients having abdominal surgery. It aims to find which approach leads to fewer side effects during and after the procedure.

Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04219956Recruiting
Low-sugar diet aims to reduce belly-surgery pain
This study tests whether a special diet low in polyamines (a food-related substance) can reduce pain after major abdominal surgery. It compares pain control while you use a patient-controlled morphine pump or take opioid tablets by mouth after surgery.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06769087Enrolling by invitation
Removing urinary catheter right after colorectal cancer surgery
This study compares taking out the urinary catheter immediately after colorectal cancer surgery versus leaving it in for one day. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06685159Recruiting
Predictors of complications in laparoscopic surgery
This study looks at factors that may predict complications after laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery with a camera) when the patient is tilted head-down (Trendelenburg position). It focuses on surgeries lasting longer than 2 hours.
Jerusalem, YerushalaimAges 18 years+ - NCT06468852Recruiting
Fluid management during head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a specific way of giving fluids during surgery (called goal-directed fluid therapy) can improve recovery after head and neck cancer surgery. It involves having a small tube in your artery to closely watch your blood pressure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07029269RecruitingPhase 3
Recovery without drainage tubes after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether it is safe and helpful to skip placing drainage tubes in the abdomen after keyhole surgery to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
