This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after surgery in people with Crohn’s disease that affects the small intestine and/or colon. It aims to see which reconnection method works better after the initial surgery, even if you’re on Crohn’s medicines before the operation.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
This study looks at patients who had emergency surgery for a blocked intestine caused by scar tissue (adhesions). It aims to find what factors might make doctors switch from a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach to open surgery, which could help predict the best treatment approach.
This study compares medical treatment with surgery for people with Crohn's disease who have a narrowing (stricture) in their small intestine that causes blockages. The goal is to see which approach is better at managing symptoms and preventing complications.
This trial compares two approaches for a sudden blockage in the small intestine caused by scar tissue: having surgery right away versus waiting up to three days with non-surgical care. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes, so you and your doctor can make a more informed choice.
This study collects small tissue samples from the stomach and upper small intestine while you’re already having certain kinds of GI (digestive) or abdominal surgery. It aims to learn what causes stomach or bowel movement problems in some patients, which could guide future diagnosis and care.
