Vacuum dressing for healing after rectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special vacuum-type wound dressing (called negative pressure therapy) helps the surgical area heal better after removal of the rectum and anus for rectal cancer. If you've had chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, this study may help improve your recovery.

Simpler care for placenta attachment problems in pregnancy
This trial studies a simpler, non-surgical approach to managing a condition called morbidly adherent placenta (where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). It is for people who are at least 28 weeks pregnant, have placenta previa, and are not having heavy bleeding.
CairoAges 25–45 - NCT06546176Recruiting

Stitch vs no stitch for ulcer repair
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a hole in the stomach or upper intestine. The first method uses a stitch to hold a piece of tissue over the hole, while the second just uses the tissue patch alone.
SohagAges Any age - NCT06715878Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for small kidney tumors without cutting blood supply
This study tests a new, gentle way to remove small kidney tumors using a robot. The goal is to avoid cutting off blood supply to the kidney and to leave healthy tissue behind. It may help you keep more kidney function while still treating the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 15–80 - NCT06865807Recruiting
Comparing stitches for emergency belly closure
This trial compares two different types of stitches used to close the belly after emergency abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which stitch leads to better healing and fewer complications.

Eyelid spring for closing the eye in facial paralysis
This trial tests a tiny spring placed in the eyelid to help you close your eye if it stays open due to facial nerve paralysis. It may be an option if your eye has not improved after 6 weeks.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06897293Recruiting
Tape Implant vs Standard Repair for Ankle Instability
This trial tests whether adding a special tape to a standard ankle ligament repair helps people with chronic ankle instability more than the standard repair alone. If you have loose joints and a history of ankle giving way, this study may be an option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 15–55 - NCT06991400Recruiting
A study of a new surgical approach for TTTS and TAPS
This trial tests a new surgical technique for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) or twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). It places a stitch through the amniotic sac during surgery to see if it helps. The study is for pregnant people between 18 and 23 weeks with healthy cervical length and a safe access point for surgery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07132970Recruiting
Leakage rate of sutured bowel connection after right colon removal
This trial is testing how well hand-sewn or partially stitched connections (anastomoses) hold up after right colon removal for cancer. It may help improve surgical techniques for people undergoing this operation.
Göppingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07147062Recruiting

This trial studies which technique works best to close a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery. It compares different closure methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT07404774Recruiting
stitch and laser treatment for hemorrhoids
This trial is testing a combined treatment for hemorrhoids that are causing symptoms. It uses a technique to stitch the hemorrhoid tissue back in place (suture mucopexy) plus a laser to shrink blood vessels. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people with grades II, III, or IV hemorrhoids, even if they've had other treatments before.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT07439575Recruiting
Wound closure methods in hip and knee replacement
This study compares different ways of closing the wound after hip or knee replacement surgery. It looks at which methods heal best with fewer problems.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 30 years+ - NCT07483411Recruiting
Skin glue with stitches vs stitches alone for c-section closure

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 130 recruiting suture 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 suture 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 suture 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.
