A new stapling approach for ileal pouch surgery in ulcerative colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a way of reconnecting the small intestine to the anus after the colon and rectum are removed, using a single stapling technique. It may help people with ulcerative colitis who need surgery to have better outcomes and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have ulcerative colitis that has not improved with standard treatments, or you need steroids for a long time.
- You are planning to have your colon and rectum removed (restorative proctectomy) to treat your ulcerative colitis.
- Your surgery will be minimally invasive, using either robotic or laparoscopic (small-incision) techniques.
- You do not have colorectal cancer or dysplasia (abnormal cells that can become cancer).

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 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 study compares a single-stapled method for reconnecting the colon after left-sided colorectal surgery. It aims to see if this technique works as well or better than the usual approach.
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 trial is testing a modified surgical technique (single-stapled anastomosis) for removing part of the rectum in people with rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve recovery or outcomes while using minimally invasive methods like laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
This trial tests a new stapling device that uses less energy to reconnect the bowel after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
