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.

This study compares two ways of doing colon surgery to see if keeping a certain blood vessel (the first sigmoid or left colonic artery) helps prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected. If you are having colon cancer surgery, this trial may help improve your recovery.
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 study tests new bipolar scissors that may make removing non-cancerous or early-stage colorectal growths during a colonoscopy safer and more effective. If you're scheduled for this procedure, the new scissors could improve your outcome.
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.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
This study tests a new real-time healthcare system meant to improve how doctors find and monitor colon cancer risk during colonoscopy. You might be able to take part if you are scheduled for a non-emergency colonoscopy and meet other safety and medical criteria.
