This study looks at what happens after liver surgery. It will help doctors better understand complications and how to improve recovery for people who had their liver removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06543134Recruiting
Body temperature and waking confusion after surgery
This study looks at how getting cold during surgery (hypothermia) might affect how confused or restless you feel when waking up from anesthesia. Researchers want to find ways to prevent these side effects and make your recovery smoother.

Fluid detection after liver surgery using remote guided ultrasound
This study tests if a doctor can guide a nurse via video call to use an ultrasound machine to look for fluid buildup in your belly after liver surgery. The goal is to see if remote guidance works as well as having the doctor there in person.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06655506Recruiting

This trial studies whether an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program improves outcomes for people with gynecologic cancer. It aims to help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Athens, AthensAges 25–85 - NCT06670248Recruiting
Study of blood vessel health during burn surgery
This trial looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) responds during surgery to remove burned skin. The goal is to improve care for people with major burns.
Barcelona, SpainAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06706323Recruiting

ZurichAges 18–90 - NCT06864819Recruiting
Alcohol blood test and surgery recovery study
This study looks at a blood test called phosphatidylethanol (PEth) to see if it can help predict how well you recover after surgery. It is for people who drink alcohol regularly and are having elective surgery with a longer hospital stay or ICU stay at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–79 - NCT06909227Recruiting
Testing lactate levels to predict complications after infant surgery
This study checks whether measuring lactate (a substance made by muscles during stress or low oxygen) in a vein right after surgery can help doctors predict complications in babies less than 1 year old. It focuses on infants who need general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgeries inside the hospital.
ParisAges birth–1 year - NCT06952387Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure for high-risk surgery patients
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.

Can beginners detect collapsed lung after heart surgery via ultrasound?
This trial tests whether a beginner (like a nurse or trainee) can use an ultrasound to safely detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery when the chest tubes are removed. It could make care faster and safer for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 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.
