Laparoscopic surgery for intestinal blockages from scar tissue
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests using laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery to treat intestinal blockages caused by scar tissue. This approach may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an intestinal blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to have laparoscopic surgery (your doctor will check this).
- You agree to participate in the study.

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 tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to cut away scar tissue (adhesiolysis) that is blocking the intestine. It is for people whose blockage is caused by scar tissue and who have not gotten better with non-surgical care.
This study tests a conservative approach for adults with a small bowel blockage caused by old scar tissue (adhesions). It avoids urgent surgery and lets the bowels rest to recover. The trial aims to find better ways to manage these blockages.
This trial compares surgery versus continued monitoring for people who have recently recovered from a bowel blockage caused by scar tissue. The goal is to see if surgery reduces the chance of another blockage.
This study tests the best way to treat a small bowel blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions). It compares different care approaches to help you recover faster and avoid repeat blockages.
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.
