Two minimally invasive surgery options for recurrent diverticular problems
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for people with recurrent diverticular disease who need surgery for a benign (non-cancerous) polyp and have an early, limited tumor in the sigmoid colon/rectosigmoid area. It may help find which approach is safer or better for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have symptoms from recurrent diverticular disease
- You have a benign adenomatous polyp that needs surgery
- You have an early, non-invasive (non-transmural) tumor in the sigmoid area
- You can sign informed consent to join the study
- Your doctors think you are a good candidate for laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery

This study looks at whether having elective sigmoid colon surgery helps bowel function and quality of life compared with conservative (non-surgery) care in people with recurrent, uncomplicated diverticulitis. It may help clarify which approach leads to fewer ongoing bowel problems and better daily comfort.
This trial compares two procedures to remove large, non-cancerous growths from the lower rectum. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients with these specific types of growths.
This trial compares robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the bowel for left-sided diverticulitis. It may help show which approach is safer or leads to better recovery for people needing elective or delayed-urgency surgery.
This study looks at how treatment affects quality of life in people with left-sided diverticulitis, including repeat episodes or complicated attacks. It may help doctors understand what improves day-to-day well-being and recovery for different diverticulitis situations.
This trial tests a new way to reconnect the colon after removing a tumor from the left side of the colon or upper rectum. If you need surgery for colon or rectal cancer (or a non-cancerous polyp) and have no urgent complications, this study may be for you.
This trial compares two types of surgery for low rectal cancer to see which one better preserves your ability to control bowel movements. It is for people whose cancer has not spread and who have good anal function before surgery.
