Endoscopic reversal of Hartmann's procedure
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to reconnect the bowel after a Hartmann's procedure, which is a surgery that removes part of the colon and creates a temporary colostomy. If you are eligible, this approach might help you avoid a second major surgery.

This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This trial tests a new magnet device to connect sections of the colon after surgery. It may be an option for people who need part of their colon removed and are otherwise in good health.
This study compares two ways to reverse a previous colon surgery (called Hartmann's procedure). It aims to see which technique is safer and better for recovery, and it will track your progress for six months after the reversal.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe diverticulitis during emergency surgery: removing the diseased part and reconnecting the bowel (anastomosis) versus bringing the end of the bowel out to a bag on your belly (colostomy). The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for each patient.
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.
This study compares two ways to reconnect the digestive system after removing the lower part of the stomach for early-stage stomach cancer. The aim is to see if adding a small bypass (Braun anastomosis) reduces bile reflux and improves quality of life after surgery.
