NICE Procedure for Benign Colon Disease
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new minimally invasive surgery called the NICE procedure for treating benign left-sided colon diseases like diverticulitis or benign polyps. It aims to see if this approach leads to fewer infections and better recovery compared to standard surgery.

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 compares robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the bowel for left-sided diverticulitis. It may help show which approach is safer or leads to better recovery for people needing elective or delayed-urgency surgery.
This trial studies how people’s quality of life changes around diverticular disease surgery. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support patients before and after surgery.
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This trial tests MBK-01, capsules made from healthy gut bacteria, to see if they can help people who keep getting diverticulitis. If you've had three or more bouts in the last three years, this study might offer a new treatment option.
This trial compares non-operative management for acute left colonic diverticulitis (ALCD) in medical versus surgical wards, to see which setting leads to better outcomes. If you have diverticulitis diagnosed by CT scan and are being treated without immediate surgery, you may be eligible.
