Reinforcement patches during stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a special reinforcement patch to the surgical stapler during stomach cancer surgery helps reduce complications. It compares this to the standard stapler method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two surgical stapler methods used to connect the esophagus to the small intestine after stomach cancer surgery. It may help find which method works better and is safer for certain stomach cancer patients.
This trial compares three different methods for reconnecting the digestive tract after surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to find which method offers the best recovery and quality of life.
This trial studies a new way to rebuild the stomach after surgery for early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life after the tumor is removed.
This trial tests whether using a medication called somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet can safely prevent serious complications after surgery to remove rectal cancer, without needing a temporary opening in the abdomen (stoma). You'll be randomly assigned to receive either somatostatin with diet changes or a stoma, depending on your individual risk factors.
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.
This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
