No-tube surgery versus usual laparoscopy for rectosigmoid cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectosigmoid cancer: a “tubeless” method versus standard laparoscopic surgery. It aims to see which approach works better and is easier or safer for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed rectosigmoid cancer (by biopsy/pathology or similar test)
- Your cancer is limited to the bowel area (T1–3), without distant spread (M0), and lymph node spread is limited (N0–2)
- The tumor is on the peritoneal reflection area and is 3 cm or smaller
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ECOG 0–2) and anesthesia risk is mild to moderate (ASA I–III)
- Your BMI is 30 or less
- You can attend scheduled visits and blood/other tests, and you are not in another treatment study within the last 28 days

This trial tests a procedure using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to fix a narrowing (stenosis) where the colon is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It may help people who have trouble with bowel movements due to this narrowing.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer while preserving bowel function. Researchers want to see which method—performed through the anus or with robotic assistance—leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This trial compares two different surgery approaches after chemo-radiation for stage 3 rectal cancer. It aims to see which operation helps control the cancer more effectively while keeping surgery as safe as possible.
This trial compares two ways to remove left-sided colon cancer and take the specimen out through the anus (without a large external incision). It may help find which approach is safer and more effective for curing Stage I–III disease.
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for high rectal and sigmoid colon cancer—one that removes the tumor through the anus (NOSES-IV) and the traditional assisted approach. It aims to see which way may lead to better recovery.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer tissue while aiming to preserve cure chances. It may help you see which approach fits your tumor location and health situation best.
