Testing lanreotide before pancreas surgery to prevent leaks
This trial tests if a medicine called lanreotide, given before surgery, can prevent a common complication (pancreatic leak) after removing part of the pancreas. It is for people with pancreatic cancer or a growth that could become cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of pancreas surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422273Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
TXA vs Saline to Prevent Bleeding After Lung Transplant Biopsy
This trial tests whether a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) can help prevent bleeding after a lung transplant biopsy. It compares TXA to a saltwater solution (saline) to see if it reduces the need for procedures to stop bleeding.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 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+ - NCT02395497RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Penile transplant trial using immune-suppressing medicines
This study tests whether a donated penis can be successfully transplanted using medicines that calm the immune system to prevent rejection. It also looks at safety and recovery of function in men with severe penile loss from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT06536439Recruiting
Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04331249Recruiting
Monitoring heart device during and around your procedure
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
Fürth, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07615517Recruiting
Comparing wound-closure methods for abdominal surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the layer under your skin after abdominal surgery to see which leads to better healing and fewer complications. You'll be randomly assigned to either have this inner layer stitched or left unstitched.
Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05934682Recruiting
Study of surgery outcomes in children

This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07525674Recruiting
Vacuum Sealing Drainage for Infected Surgical Wounds
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
MinyaAges 18–70 - NCT07186634RecruitingPhase 4

This trial tests different medicines to improve recovery after surgery. It includes adults having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires an overnight hospital stay.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731881Recruiting
Light therapy to prevent infections after sinus or nose surgery
This study tests if a special light therapy can help prevent infections after sinus or nose surgeries. The treatment is given in addition to standard care and might lower the chance of needing more antibiotics.

Outpatient vs. inpatient robotic prostate removal study
This study compares recovery experiences for men having robot-assisted prostate removal surgery as an outpatient (going home the same day) versus staying overnight in the hospital. It looks at early complications to see which approach might work better for eligible patients.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT06934018Recruiting
Surgical margin width for liver-only colorectal cancer spread
