Laparoscopic surgery for adhesive bowel blockage
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing how well keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) works for patients with an intestinal blockage caused by scar tissue from a prior surgery. It may offer a less invasive option for treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bowel blockage (intestinal obstruction) that is caused by scar tissue (adhesions).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are male or female.
- You have not refused to take part in the study.
- You are healthy enough to have keyhole surgery.

This study looks at why some laparoscopic surgeries for small bowel blockages caused by scar tissue need to be switched to open surgery. It helps doctors understand which patients might have a better chance with laparoscopy alone.
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 trial compares surgery to remove scar tissue (adhesiolysis) with a wait-and-see approach for people who recently had a small bowel blockage caused by scar tissue and were treated without surgery. The goal is to see which approach better prevents future blockages.
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 tests a gel called 4DryField® PH to see if it helps prevent adhesions (scar-like tissue) from forming after surgery for a blocked bowel caused by previous adhesions. It might reduce future 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.
