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 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.
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 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 new way to remove a piece of the colon during minimally invasive surgery, taking it out through the rectum instead of making a larger belly cut. It may lead to less pain and a faster recovery for patients who qualify.
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.
