Using the Stream platform to monitor drainage after colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called Stream™ that helps monitor the fluid from your surgical drain after colorectal surgery. The goal is to catch dangerous leaks early, so treatment can happen sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had surgery on your colon or rectum where the two ends were reconnected (called an anastomosis).
- You have a drain (a small tube) in your belly or pelvis after surgery to remove extra fluid.
- You are willing to follow the study rules and use the study device.
- You do not already have a confirmed leak at the reconnection site.
- You are not planning to go home within the first 3 days after your surgery.

This trial tests a remote monitoring system to keep an eye on patients after colorectal surgery. It aims to see if this helps recovery and reduces hospital readmissions.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
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 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 study tests whether using a special drain tube during rectal cancer surgery helps prevent leakage at the connection point where the intestine is rejoined. If you are planning to have surgery to remove rectal cancer, this might lower your risk of complications.
This trial tests a new platform that looks at fluid from drains after abdominal or pelvic surgery to see if it can help detect complications early. It may help doctors monitor your recovery more closely.
