New method for pouch surgery in ulcerative colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, precise way to connect a pouch to the anus during surgery for ulcerative colitis. It aims to make the procedure safer and improve outcomes for people whose colitis is not controlled by medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery to remove the colon and create a pouch
- The surgery will be done with robotic or laparoscopic (small incision) techniques
- You do not have colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous growths

This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
This trial compares two different J-pouch sizes (10 cm vs. 15 cm) during surgery for ulcerative colitis or FAP. The goal is to see if one size leads to better outcomes.
This study compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine after rectal cancer surgery. It looks at a newer method called TTSS against the standard double-stapled technique.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing diseased intestine in people with Crohn’s disease. The goal is to see which method works better for healing and short- and longer-term outcomes.
This early-phase study tests fecal microbiota transplant (a stool-based treatment) to improve chronic pouchitis symptoms in adults after UC-related surgery. It may help by changing gut bacteria, especially for people who need ongoing antibiotics or keep having flare-ups.
This trial tests whether a medicine applied to the pouch after surgery can prevent pouchitis (inflammation of the pouch) in people with ulcerative colitis who have had their colon removed and a pouch created. It may help avoid the discomfort and complications of pouchitis.
