EUS-guided Hartmann reversal trial
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to reconnect the bowel after a previous Hartmann's procedure (a type of colon surgery). It may help people who need this reversal but want a quicker recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a Hartmann's procedure and need to have it reversed.
- You are healthy enough for surgery and general anesthesia.

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 is testing a less invasive (laparoscopic) way to reverse a Hartmann procedure. It compares this newer method to the standard open surgery to see which works better for patients who had their original surgery for diverticulitis, intestinal ischemia, or trauma.
This study tests a tool to help doctors decide whether to reconnect the colon or create a temporary opening (colostomy) during emergency surgery for severe diverticulitis. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by supporting better surgical decisions.
This trial tests a treatment called Endo-SPONGE for people who have a leak at the connection site after colorectal surgery. It aims to help the leak heal using a special sponge placed through an endoscope.
This trial tests a new way to reconnect the colon after removing a tumor from the left side of the colon or upper rectum. If you need surgery for colon or rectal cancer (or a non-cancerous polyp) and have no urgent complications, this study may be for you.
