Early scope check for leak after colorectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a routine endoscopic exam shortly after colorectal surgery can catch a leak early, which may prevent complications. If you are 18 or older and had a low colorectal or coloanal anastomosis within 15 cm of the anorectal junction, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels inside the colon during surgery, right after the surgeon reconnects the bowel. It may help doctors see if the new connection is healing well.
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
This study tests whether doing a colonoscopy (camera exam of the colon) early after surgery for low rectal cancer helps catch a serious complication called anastomotic leakage—when the surgical connection between bowel segments breaks down. Early detection might help prevent severe infections and improve outcomes.
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
This trial studies the best way to treat anastomotic leaks—gaps or infections where the colon was reconnected—after colon cancer surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who develop this complication.
This study looks at how often a leak happens at the connection site after right colon cancer surgery. It includes both emergency and planned surgeries, and all types of surgical approaches. The goal is to learn more about this complication so doctors can prevent it better.
