This study compares different surgical techniques for children with a specific type of anorectal malformation (perineal or vestibular fistula). It aims to see which surgery leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at reconstruction (how tissue is rebuilt) after very large pelvic cancer surgeries. It may help teams improve the options and support for people having these operations and recovery experiences.
This study tests a new way to rebuild the pelvic floor (the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis) and the wound after surgery to remove the rectum for cancer. The goal is to improve healing and reduce complications after this major operation.
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
This study tests two different ways to create the opening for a stoma (an ostomy bag) during rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if one method reduces the risk of developing a hernia at the stoma site later.
