TXA vs Saline to Prevent Bleeding After Lung Transplant Biopsy

Antibiotics around sinus and bone graft implants to prevent problems
This trial studies whether taking antibiotics through the body (systemic antibiotics) after sinus-lift and bone-graft dental implant surgery can reduce post-surgery complications and improve patient comfort. It compares outcomes that matter to patients after implant placement using guided bone regeneration and a sinus floor elevation.

Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05378139Recruiting
At-home and hospital wireless monitoring for worsening health

It may help clinicians spot problems sooner whether you’re being monitored at home or around a major surgery hospital stay.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05836285Recruiting
Recovery room care program after surgery
This trial tests whether a specialized “advanced recovery room care” approach can improve outcomes after certain surgeries. It may help patients who need at least one night in the hospital but do not require immediate ICU-level care after surgery.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06514170Recruiting
Stomach and bowel function after aortic surgery
This study looks at how stomach and bowel function changes after major aortic surgery. It may help doctors understand and prevent digestive problems in patients who need extended time on a ventilator after surgery.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT06807437RecruitingPhase 3
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+ - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg
This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT07059104Recruiting
Breast reconstruction after weight loss surgery study
This study looks at how breast reconstruction with implants works for women who have had major weight loss surgery. It uses national health registries to track outcomes and help doctors and patients make better choices.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT07178041Recruiting
Remote conditioning after hip fracture surgery
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment using a blood pressure cuff on the arm can help reduce complications after hip fracture surgery. It might help improve recovery by preparing the body to handle the stress of surgery.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07210164Recruiting
Pre-surgery wellness program for gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a pre-surgery wellness program (pre-habilitation) within an enhanced recovery protocol helps women recover better after surgery for endometrial, ovarian, or cervical cancer. It is designed for women who are having open abdominal surgery (laparotomy).
ThessalonikiAges 18–85 - NCT01957696Enrolling by invitation
Study of pancreas (and sometimes kidney) transplant outcomes
This study looks at people who receive a pancreas transplant, with or without a same-time kidney transplant, and follows them to understand their results. It may help improve how transplant teams choose patients and manage care after surgery.
OsloAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05327478Recruiting
Compare treatments for controlled donation after circulatory death
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 50–75 - NCT06650878Recruiting
Desarda vs Lichtenstein hernia repair comparison
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). Both methods aim to fix the hernia with a mesh, but the Desarda technique uses a piece of your own abdominal muscle, while the Lichtenstein technique uses a synthetic mesh. The study will see which approach leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05992857Recruiting
Omentum wrap to prevent leaks after Whipple surgery
This trial tests if wrapping a flap of abdominal tissue (omentum) around the arteries during Whipple surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy) can reduce the risk of a serious leak. It may help patients who have a higher fistula risk score (7 or more) during their open surgery.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06608082Recruiting
Green dye study after keyhole hysterectomy
This trial looks at blood flow in the vaginal area after a type of hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus). Doctors will inject a safe green dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to see how well the area heals.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06738004Recruiting

Predicting surgery complications in gynecologic cancer
This study is comparing two different tools that doctors use to predict complications from gynecologic cancer surgery. The goal is to see which tool works better for planned (non-emergency) surgeries.

Testing a new surgery for type A aortic tear
This trial tests a new surgical method (XJ-Procedure) for people with an acute tear in the upper part of the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection). It may offer a safer option for those needing 'Sun's procedure' surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - NCT06513598Recruiting
Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 recruiting surgical complication 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 surgical complication 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 complication 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.
