Long-term follow-up study for previous trial participants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks what happens years later to people who already finished an earlier trial for a surgical sealant. It helps doctors know how well the treatment works over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have completed all visits in a previous study (trial #DLG-072-06) if you were in the treatment group.

- Your original surgery did not use any sealant or glue on the connection (anastomosis) except for stitches or staples.

This trial tests a new device that uses magnets to connect parts of the colon after surgery. It may help people who need certain types of colon removal and reconnection surgery.
This study tests a device called ColoSeal that protects the connection made during rectal cancer surgery. It is for patients who are having surgery to remove the tumor and reattach the bowel, and who also need a temporary ostomy.
This trial studies the best way to treat anastomotic leaks—gaps or infections where the colon was reconnected—after colon cancer surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who develop this complication.
This trial tests if adding a continuous circular reinforcement to the surgical connection (anastomosis) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery can reduce complications. It is for people with mid to upper rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
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 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.
