Long-term follow-up after bowel surgery sealant treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks how people who had a special sealant (a type of glue) applied to their bowel surgery are doing over the long term. Participation involves answering a few questions over the phone to help make sure the treatment is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in the earlier study for this treatment and finished all the study visits.
- You are willing to take part in a follow-up assessment, including giving your consent by phone.
- You can complete a phone questionnaire.
- You do not have missing or incomplete medical records that would prevent comparison.
- During your original surgery, no other glue or sealant was used on the bowel join, only your surgeon's stitches or staples.
- You did not have a stoma (a surgical opening to collect waste) created during the original surgery.

This study tests a new device called the ColoSeal ICD System that may help protect the reconnection of your bowel after surgery for rectosigmoid or rectal cancer. It is designed for people who are already scheduled for surgery that includes a temporary colostomy or ileostomy.
This trial compares two ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
This trial is testing how well hand-sewn or partially stitched connections (anastomoses) hold up after right colon removal for cancer. It may help improve surgical techniques for people undergoing this operation.
This trial tests a barrier seal (TRE Seal) for people who have had a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. It looks at how well the seal works when applied right after surgery in the UK.
This trial studies a device (CG-100) placed inside the bowel to see if it can improve safety and outcomes during surgery for colorectal cancer. You would be asked to follow extra study check-ins after your operation, and the team would monitor whether the device works as intended.
