Comparing two J-pouch sizes in pouch surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial compares two different J-pouch sizes (10 cm vs. 15 cm) during surgery for ulcerative colitis or FAP. The goal is to see if one size leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to create a J-pouch (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
- Your anal sphincter muscles work normally (based on your history and a physical exam).
- You are able to give written permission (informed consent) to participate.
- During surgery, the surgeon finds that both a small (10 cm) and medium-sized (15 cm) pouch can be made without too much tension or trouble reaching.

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 trial tests a new, precise way to connect a pouch to the anus during surgery for ulcerative colitis. It aims to make the procedure safer and improve outcomes for people whose colitis is not controlled by medication.
This trial studies a tailored plan for surveillance (check-ups) and interventions to find and remove new growths early in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after bowel surgery. It may help lower the chance of cancer by closely monitoring and treating polyps when they appear.
This trial looks at how many colon polyps progress toward cancer in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). It may help doctors better predict risk and guide safer monitoring or treatment for you.
This study tests whether a natural supplement called Aquamin (a red algae-derived mineral source) can help prevent inflammation in people who have had surgery for ulcerative colitis and now have a J-pouch. It aims to see if this supplement reduces pouch inflammation and related symptoms.
This early-phase trial studies REC-4881 in adults with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a condition that causes many colon/rectum and duodenal polyps. It aims to see whether the treatment can safely help control or shrink polyp growth in people who have had bowel surgery.
