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 - 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+ - NCT06296173Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06580197Recruiting
Ear acupuncture after belly surgery to help recovery
This trial looks at whether ear acupuncture can help people recover after major abdominal surgeries like Whipple, pancreatectomy, or subtotal gastrectomy. It may help reduce digestive problems by tracking a substance called AAT (alpha-1 antitrypsin).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–70 - NCT06865638Recruiting
Testing for colorectal anastomotic leaks after surgery
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - 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.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65–80 - 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 - 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05966727Recruiting
Cholestyramine to lower stored pollutants in obese women
This study tests whether cholestyramine can lower blood levels of certain stored environmental pollutants (“POPs”) in women preparing for weight-loss surgery. If it works, it may help reduce pollutant levels that can build up in the body over time.

Lidocaine for infection after emergency abdominal surgery
This trial tests if giving lidocaine continuously during and after emergency surgery for a hole or blockage in the gut can reduce lung problems and improve recovery. It may help patients with a serious belly infection who need quick surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07277244Enrolling by invitation
Gentle breathing support during robot surgery
This study tests a low-pressure breathing method during robot-assisted surgery to see if it helps protect your lungs. It's for adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery expected to last at least 2 hours.

Stopping blood pressure meds before colon cancer surgery: a study
This trial looks at whether temporarily stopping certain blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors or ARBs) before colorectal cancer surgery can reduce heart injury after the operation. If you have high blood pressure and are scheduled for major colon or rectal cancer surgery, this study may help determine the safest approach.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06146270Recruiting
