Ultrasound vs clips to control bleeding in colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during minimally invasive colon cancer surgery: using a special ultrasound device or standard surgical clips. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with colon cancer (a type called adenocarcinoma) that has been confirmed by a biopsy.

This trial tests whether placing small “preventive clips” during colonoscopy can reduce bleeding afterward in people who take blood thinners (DOACs). It may help lower the chance of bleeding after polyp removal or biopsy during a scheduled colonoscopy.
This trial tests a special imaging system that helps surgeons see blood flow during left-sided colon surgery. It may help improve safety and outcomes by checking that the surgical connection has good blood supply.
This trial tests whether placing small clips at the site of polyp removal in the colon can reduce bleeding in patients who take blood thinners afterwards.
This trial is for adults having planned colon surgery where the two ends of the colon are reconnected. It tests two different imaging techniques to see which one better shows blood flow during surgery, which could help reduce complications.
This study is testing a new type of scissors used during a procedure to remove growths from the colon or rectum. The goal is to see if these scissors help the removal go more smoothly and safely.
This trial tests a technique during colon or rectal surgery to preserve a specific blood vessel (the left colic artery) that helps keep the remaining colon healthy. It is for people with left colon, rectal, or ovarian cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
