Dallas, TexasAges Up to 18 years - NCT07466966Recruiting
Non-surgical treatment for implant infection
This study tests a less invasive way to treat peri-implantitis (infection around a dental implant) without removing the implant crown or using antibiotics. It may help people with infected implants who have not smoked or used antibiotics recently.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT06957236Enrolling by invitation
NICE Procedure for Benign Colon Disease
This trial tests a new minimally invasive surgery called the NICE procedure for treating benign left-sided colon diseases like diverticulitis or benign polyps. It aims to see if this approach leads to fewer infections and better recovery compared to standard surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06539442Recruiting
Study of robotic surgery for children with urology needs
This trial tests the Versius robotic system for minimally invasive urology surgery in children under 18. It may help young patients have a less invasive procedure with a smaller incision and faster recovery.
LondonAges birth–17 years - NCT05195697Recruiting
Study of outcomes for adults needing urgent surgery
This study looks at what factors affect outcomes for adults admitted for urgent (acute) surgical care at Skåne University Hospital. It may help the hospital improve care and understand which patients are at higher or lower risk.
Malmö, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07363538Recruiting
Comparing heart surgery methods for newborns with complex heart defects
This trial tests new surgical strategies for newborns with certain complex heart conditions. It aims to see which techniques lead to better recovery and quality of life in the first year after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 1 week - NCT07583836Recruiting
Early vs. delayed surgery for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial compares whether having surgery sooner or waiting longer after a spinal cord injury helps patients recover better. Researchers will track how well patients regain movement and function over time.
RawalpindiAges 18–60 - NCT07119112Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new tool to improve surgical drain care

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07729176Enrolling by invitation
Flipped vs traditional teaching for surgical skills
This trial compares two ways of teaching basic surgical skills to first-year surgery trainees: traditional classroom teaching vs a flipped classroom approach where you watch videos before class and spend class time practicing. The goal is to find out which method helps you learn better.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges Any age - NCT04556019Recruiting
Study of past and future liver and bile-pancreas surgeries
This is a research study using information from people who had certain liver, bile duct, and pancreas surgeries in the hospital’s surgical team. It aims to review surgical results and may help improve how these operations are done.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 15–90 - NCT04894864RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid-free anesthesia for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery
This trial studies an “opioid-free” anesthesia and pain plan during planned open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see whether this approach reduces surgical stress and pain compared with usual care.

Robotic surgery for lymphedema (Symani System)
This trial uses a robotic arm called Symani to help surgeons perform more precise microsurgery (working on tiny blood vessels and lymph channels). It is for adults with moderate lymphedema in one arm or leg who have already tried standard lymphedema therapy and still have swelling.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT05070169Recruiting
Early surgery for hip fractures in people on blood thinners
This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.

- How do I know if I qualify for a surgical 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 surgical 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.
