Quicker bowel recovery after minimally invasive right colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific internal stitch connection (an anastomosis) helps your bowel start working sooner and may help you leave the hospital earlier after right colon surgery. It’s mainly for adults having planned, minimally invasive right hemicolectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for planned right colon removal (right hemicolectomy) using minimally invasive surgery (robot or laparoscopy)
- During surgery, surgeons plan to connect the bowel ends (an anastomosis)
- You are not pregnant
- No extra colon or rectum surgery is planned (for example, left colectomy or proctectomy)

This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing the right part of the colon in laparoscopic surgery. One method is done inside the body, the other outside; both are standard, and the study aims to see which is better for recovery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the right side of the colon when cancer is present. The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes, which could help you and others in the future.
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.
This trial is testing a standard way to do right-sided colon removal surgery using keyhole techniques. The goal is to make the surgery more consistent and improve recovery for people with early-stage colon cancer.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for right-sided colon cancer: robotic-assisted and laparoscopic. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer technical errors during the operation. If you are scheduled for surgery, this study may help improve outcomes.
This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
