Surgery after bowel removal for gangrene
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgeries used after removing a large part of the small intestine due to tissue death (gangrene). It is for people who have had most of their small bowel saved (more than 60 cm remaining) and whose resection started close to the stomach (less than 150 cm from the DJ ligament).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your surgery removed a section of small intestine starting less than 150 cm from your stomach.
- The damage was caused by a blocked blood vessel (mesenteric ischemia), or a twist, hernia, or band strangling the bowel.
- You are an adult age 18 or older.
- You have more than 60 cm (about 2 feet) of small bowel left after surgery.
- You do not have cancer.

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 trial looks at people who have had an injury to their small or large bowel. It studies how surgeries to reconnect the bowel (called anastomoses) work after such injuries.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing diseased intestine in people with Crohn’s disease. The goal is to see which method works better for healing and short- and longer-term outcomes.
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.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the affected part of the intestine in people with Crohn's disease. It aims to see if removing more tissue around the blood vessels leads to better outcomes.
