Day surgery for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a same-day surgery approach for colorectal cancer is safe and effective. It uses small incisions and special pain management to help you recover faster at home with a caregiver nearby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- Your tumor is 5 cm or smaller and has not spread to other organs.
- You have a caregiver who can stay with you for at least 3 days after surgery and live within a 30-minute drive to the hospital.
- You are not on blood-thinning medications and can receive a nerve block or non-opioid pain drugs.
- Your overall health is good, with no serious medical conditions like poorly controlled diabetes, severe anemia, or mental health issues.

This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
This study tests whether it is safe for patients to go home the same day after robotic colon surgery. If you are healthy enough and have help at home, you may be able to recover there instead of staying in the hospital overnight.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
This trial tests whether it is safe and effective to recover at home right after keyhole colorectal surgery, instead of staying in the hospital. It is for people who are stable, have little bleeding, and have enough support at home.
This trial compares two ways to remove left-sided colon cancer and take the specimen out through the anus (without a large external incision). It may help find which approach is safer and more effective for curing Stage I–III disease.
