Lower-powered stapler for rectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a lower-powered stapling device for joining the bowel back together after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce complications while still being effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have rectal cancer located within 12 cm from the anal opening.
- Your surgery will involve a stapled connection less than 7 cm from the anal opening.
- You are having minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic, robotic, or TaTME).
- You do not have cancer that has spread to other organs.

This trial is testing a modified surgical technique (single-stapled anastomosis) for removing part of the rectum in people with rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve recovery or outcomes while using minimally invasive methods like laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
This study compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine after rectal cancer surgery. It looks at a newer method called TTSS against the standard double-stapled technique.
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.
This trial tests if a new powered circular stapler reduces complications compared to a manual stapler when connecting the colon after left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It may help improve healing and outcomes.
This study tests a new type of stapler for laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery that removes the tumor while preserving the anus. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for securing the cut edge of the rectum.
