AI model to predict heart problems after stomach surgery
This study compares a new artificial intelligence tool with traditional methods to predict which patients might have heart-related complications after gastrointestinal surgery. The goal is to find better ways to identify high-risk patients and potentially improve their care.

Nutritional Support Before Sarcoma Surgery
This study tests whether special nutritional supplements given before surgery for bone or soft tissue sarcoma (a type of cancer) can help your body heal better and recover faster. You'll take oral supplements for at least a week before your planned surgery.
BrnoAges Any age - NCT07651462Recruiting
Fasting Before Hip Surgery and Gut Health
This study tests whether fasting for 20 days before hip replacement surgery changes your gut bacteria in ways that might help your recovery. Researchers want to understand if this dietary approach affects how well you heal after the operation.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT07656818Recruiting
Cold plasma to lower risk of chronic subdural hematoma coming back
This trial tests if a special cold plasma treatment applied during surgery can reduce the chance of a chronic subdural hematoma (a slowly growing blood collection on the brain) from returning. It may help people who already need surgery for this condition.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07348146Enrolling by invitation
Hand-sewn vs. stapled bowel connection in SADI-S surgery
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine during SADI-S weight-loss surgery: one done by hand and one using staples. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer early problems after surgery, like leaks or infections.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06276140Enrolling by invitation
Iron deficiency anemia and recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how iron deficiency anemia affects recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand if treating this type of anemia before surgery improves outcomes.
KamenitzAges 18 years+ - NCT05404503Enrolling by invitation
Check how often bile-duct cancer happens in choledochal cysts
This study looks at how frequently cholangiocarcinoma (bile-duct cancer) occurs in people with choledochal cysts (a swelling of bile ducts). It mainly uses existing imaging records to understand risk in a hospital population.
HuelvaAges Any age - NCT06513416Recruiting
Gut bacteria and lung problems after surgery in older adults
This study tests whether the bacteria in your gut are linked to lung complications after a long abdominal surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a scheduled upper abdominal surgery, researchers want to understand how your microbiome affects your recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT07362680Recruiting
Ultrasound lung openings to prevent breathing problems after hysterectomy
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07208500Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to protect lungs in older adults
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment (briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) before surgery can reduce lung complications in older adults having non-heart, non-lung surgery. It may help protect your lungs during and after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT07610824Recruiting
Lung Pressure and Recovery After Robot-Assisted Prostate Surgery
This study measures breathing pressure during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery and checks lung function after surgery using ultrasound. It aims to understand how surgery affects your lungs and recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07464730Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen after high-risk surgery for frail adults
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07461467Recruiting
Managing breathing tube pressure to reduce throat problems in older adults

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - NCT07401641Recruiting
Pain control study for oral cancer surgery
This study tests two different pain medicines (dezocine or nalbuphine) combined with sufentanil to see which helps better control pain after oral cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction. It also looks at side effects and how well the transplanted tissue survives.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06243146Recruiting
Oxygen adjustment to prevent lung problems after surgery

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.
