Bovine reinforcement for stomach, colorectal, and lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a bovine reinforcement material helps make staple lines in stomach, colorectal, and lung surgeries stronger and safer. It may reduce the risk of leaks or bleeding at the staple line.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery on your stomach, colon, rectum, or lung that will use staples to reconnect tissue.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits after surgery.
- You do not have a history of collagen disease, bleeding problems, or severe kidney or liver issues.
- You do not have an uncontrolled infection in your belly area.
- During your surgery, you are not expected to have a serious drop in blood pressure or heart problems.

This study compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing rectal cancer using keyhole surgery. It aims to see if a reinforced connection (with extra support) helps prevent leaks better than the standard method.
This study tests whether adding a special reinforcement patch to the surgical stapler during stomach cancer surgery helps reduce complications. It compares this to the standard stapler method.
This trial tests a new stapling device that uses less energy to reconnect the bowel after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
This trial tests if the placement of the stapler spike during colorectal surgery affects bleeding where the bowel is joined. It may help guide safer stapling techniques.
This trial tests a new-shaped stapler (a tool that seals and cuts the rectum) during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to remove rectal cancer. The goal is to see if it helps ensure a clean margin (area without cancer) at the resection edge, which may improve the success of the surgery.
