Treating rectal narrowing with a tube through the anus
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You had surgery to remove part of your rectum
- You have a narrowing where the colon was reconnected (called anastomotic stenosis)
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia
- You and your family understand the study and agree to take part

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.
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 surgical techniques to see which one better preserves anal function after surgery for low rectal cancer. If you may be eligible for anal-preserving surgery, it may help your care team choose the approach that best protects bowel control.
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation before surgery for patients with middle or low rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to avoid removing the anus, preserving bowel function.
This trial compares two ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
