Two surgical options for Crohn’s bowel resection
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after surgery in people with Crohn’s disease that affects the small intestine and/or colon. It aims to see which reconnection method works better after the initial surgery, even if you’re on Crohn’s medicines before the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and can be male or female
- You have Crohn’s disease in the ileum (small bowel) and/or ileocolon and need your first surgery to remove diseased bowel
- Your Crohn’s type can be non-healing/doesn’t connect normally, narrowing/strictures, or penetrating/fistulas
- You may take Crohn’s medicines right up to surgery, including prior anti-TNF treatments
- You are not pregnant
- This is for a first-time (not recurrent) Crohn’s surgery, with active disease in only one main area

This trial compares two surgical ways of connecting the bowel in people with Crohn’s disease who need bowel resection (removal of a diseased bowel segment) and then reconnect it. If you qualify, the study may help show which method is safer or leads to better recovery.
This trial tests whether a specific type of bowel connection during Crohn’s surgery can lower the chances that the disease comes back. It may help people having their first ileocolonic (small-to-large bowel) surgery for certain Crohn’s complications.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing diseased intestine in people with Crohn’s disease. The goal is to see which method works better for healing and short- and longer-term outcomes.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the affected part of the intestine in people with Crohn's disease. It aims to see if removing more tissue around the blood vessels leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether a special surgical technique (mesentery-embedding) is safe for people with Crohn's disease who need ileocolic surgery and are already on a biologic medication. It aims to see if this method can help reduce complications.
