Laparoscopic colon surgery comparison for bowel tumors or disease
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for colon or upper-rectum surgery (for a benign or non-cancer reason, or for cancer).
- Your planned surgery matches one of these: right-sided colectomy types, or left-sided sigmoid/left colectomy, or upper-rectum resection without a stoma.
- Your surgery is planned as laparoscopy (small camera), not open surgery through a large incision (laparotomy).
- You do not currently have a stoma (and it’s not expected you’ll need one during surgery).
- You are an adult (18+) and able to sign consent and do study follow-up.
- You meet safety limits: no pacemaker/electronic implant, BMI under 30, and no severe overall health issues (ASA 3 or lower).

This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
This trial compares laparoscopy (minimally invasive) and open surgery for treating colon cancer in people with extra belly fat around internal organs (visceral obesity). The goal is to see which approach gives better recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing the right side of the colon in certain women with colon cancer or a high-risk pre-cancer. It aims to see whether the less invasive transvaginal approach can be done safely and work as well as standard laparoscopic surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to remove low rectal cancer while aiming to preserve bowel control. It may help you keep better anal function after surgery.
