Leakage rate of sutured bowel connection after right colon removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) right colon removal due to cancer.
- The surgeon will reconnect the remaining intestine by hand-sewing or using a combination of staples and stitches.
- Cancer has not spread to the lining of your abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) or into major blood vessels, nerves, or bones.
- You have not had previous abdominal surgery that removed part of your bowel.
- You do not have an inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's disease.

This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing the right part of the colon in laparoscopic surgery. One method is done inside the body, the other outside; both are standard, and the study aims to see which is better for 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 compares two surgical techniques for removing the right side of the colon when cancer is present. The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes, which could help you and others in the future.
This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
This study looks at how often a leak happens at the connection site after right colon cancer surgery. It includes both emergency and planned surgeries, and all types of surgical approaches. The goal is to learn more about this complication so doctors can prevent it better.
This study compares a single-stapled method for reconnecting the colon after left-sided colorectal surgery. It aims to see if this technique works as well or better than the usual approach.
