Stapler type choice for stomach cancer surgery connection
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical stapler methods used to connect the esophagus to the small intestine after stomach cancer surgery. It may help find which method works better and is safer for certain stomach cancer patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stomach cancer confirmed by biopsy (adenocarcinoma).
- Your cancer stage is T1 to T4 (not early only and not already described as distant spread).
- Your daily functioning is good: you’re rated 0 or 1 on a common cancer activity scale.
- Your body can handle treatment, based on blood and organ test results your team will review.
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis).
- You haven’t had chemotherapy or radiation for another past cancer.

This study tests whether adding a special reinforcement patch to the surgical stapler during stomach cancer surgery helps reduce complications. It compares this to the standard stapler method.
This trial compares three ways to reconnect the digestive tract after surgery for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. The goal is to find which method works best for recovery.
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
This study compares three types of surgical staplers used to reconnect the colon after cancer removal. Researchers want to see which stapler type best prevents leaks at the connection site, a common complication after colorectal surgery.
This study uses a new stapler designed for endoscopic surgery to see how well it works. It helps surgeons cut and close tissue during procedures like lung or stomach surgery.
This study compares a new stapler (a tool that closes and cuts tissue during surgery) with the standard staplers currently used. It is for people having certain stomach or lung surgeries to see if the new device works as well or better.
