Mesh placement to help prevent complications after bowel surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.

This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
This trial tests whether a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
This trial tests whether using a medication called somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet can safely prevent serious complications after surgery to remove rectal cancer, without needing a temporary opening in the abdomen (stoma). You'll be randomly assigned to receive either somatostatin with diet changes or a stoma, depending on your individual risk factors.
This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
This trial compares two ways of doing rectal cancer surgery: one with a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) and one without. It aims to see if a stoma helps prevent complications after the bowel is reconnected.
This trial tests if adding a continuous circular reinforcement to the surgical connection (anastomosis) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery can reduce complications. It is for people with mid to upper rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
