Study of risk factors for complications after major surgery
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05990946Recruiting
Smartphone symptom check-ins to improve recovery exercises after lung surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app to report symptoms can help patients stick to their recovery exercises after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, this study may help you recover better at home.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05479825Recruiting
Lung surgery planning without a tube, using X-ray guidance
This trial looks at a new way to plan a minimally invasive lung segment removal (“segmentectomy”) using live X-ray guidance, without using a chest tube (“tubeless”). It may help patients with certain small lung lesions (sometimes early lung cancer) get the surgery more precisely.
Jinan, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–85 - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT04652180Recruiting
Robot surgery versus open surgery for esophagus cancer
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with the standard open chest operation to remove esophagus and nearby tissue. It may help you understand which approach works better and is safer for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05793203Recruiting
Tests noninvasive checks to spot liver transplant complications early
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT05625373RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Antibiotic powder during groin surgery to prevent infection
This trial studies whether placing an antibiotic powder (vancomycin) directly in the surgical wound during groin lymph node surgery can lower the risk of surgical site infections. It may help reduce wound infections after surgery for vulvar dysplasia.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05630443Recruiting
Prone position after major abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks at whether placing you in a face-down (prone) position after major abdominal cancer surgery can improve recovery. You may be offered this positioning approach after your operation if it’s safe for you.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT07837427Recruiting
Different water pressures during minimally invasive back surgery
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07813832Recruiting
Recovery study after knee or hip replacement
This study looks at why some people have problems after knee or hip replacement surgery. It follows patients for three years to understand complications and improve care.
MoscowAges 45 years+ - NCT07780240Recruiting
Understanding arm band pain after breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how common axillary web syndrome (a rope-like band in the armpit after breast cancer surgery) is, who gets it, and how it affects arm function. It aims to help doctors better predict and manage this condition.
Istanbul, BAGCILARAges 18–80 - NCT07750808Recruiting
Walking rehabilitation with a robotic exoskeleton
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT06611462Recruiting
Strong for surgery: prehab before hernia repair
This trial tests a 4-week program of exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle support before ventral hernia surgery to help reduce complications. If you have a hernia smaller than 8 cm and at least one health risk factor, this might help you prepare for a safer recovery.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT07727759Recruiting
CT scan to predict liver failure after surgery
This trial uses special CT scans to create a map of your liver's blood vessels before surgery. The goal is to predict if your liver might fail after part of it is removed, so doctors can better plan your care.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07720154Recruiting
Using hernia sac flap to cover mesh in bony-edged hernia repair
This trial tests whether using a flap of your own hernia sac to cover the mesh during hernia repair can improve healing. It's for people with a complex hernia that touches a bone, like near the breastbone or pelvis.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT06655506Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 198 recruiting postoperative complications studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a postoperative complications trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a postoperative complications trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
