New anastomosis technique for left-sided colon and rectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to reconnect the colon after surgery for colorectal cancer or benign polyps in the sigmoid colon or upper rectum. The goal is to see if this new technique leads to better outcomes than the standard method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a cancerous or non-cancerous growth in the sigmoid colon or upper rectum that needs to be removed with a high anterior resection surgery.
- Your surgery is planned to be minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic).
- You do not have an emergency condition like bowel blockage, severe infection, or a hole in the bowel.
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (like liver or lungs).
- You have not had radiation therapy to your abdomen or pelvis for a different condition.
- Your surgeon does not plan to create a temporary ileostomy (a bag for stool) as part of the surgery.

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 tests a new way of connecting the bowel after removing cancer or precancerous lesions in the sigmoid colon or upper rectum. It is for patients who are having planned, curative surgery and may help reduce complications.
This trial compares two surgical ways of connecting the bowel during laparoscopic surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer. It may help find which approach lowers complications and improves recovery after the operation.
This trial tests two different ways to reconnect the intestine after removing a sigmoid or upper rectal tumor. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing.
This trial tests if adding a continuous circular reinforcement to the surgical connection (anastomosis) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery can reduce complications. It is for people with mid to upper rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
