Flushing liquid during colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two different liquids used to flush the surgical area during colorectal cancer surgery to see which one better prevents infections. If you are having surgery for colorectal cancer, you may be able to join.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares using povidone-iodine (an iodine-based cleaner) versus saline (salt water) to rinse the surgical area during planned colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see which helps prevent infections at the surgery site after the operation.
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial is testing whether a diluted povidone-iodine (a common germ-killer) rinse inside the belly during surgery can prevent infections better than a plain saltwater rinse. It is for adults having abdominal surgery for certain types of wounds.
This trial tests a “skin decolonization” routine using medicated skin cleaning to help lower the risk of surgical site infections after abdominal surgery. You may be eligible if you recently had an open abdominal incision and your wound is healing as expected at discharge.
This trial tests a simple at-home method to manage early bowel issues after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce symptoms like frequent bowel movements or urgency while you wait for your ileostomy to be reversed.
This trial tests three different surgical methods for rectal cancer located very close to the anal canal. The goal is to see which method works best in the short and long term while preserving anal function.
