Rebuilding the ileocecal valve during right colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique that rebuilds the valve between the small and large intestines during removal of right-sided colon cancer. It may help improve digestion and bowel function after surgery.

This trial tests a treatment for people with right-sided colon cancer that has not spread. It aims to see if a specific surgery or approach can improve outcomes.
This trial studies how to treat cancers located near the right bend of the colon (hepatic flexure) or the first part of the transverse colon. It may help patients by testing a specific approach to surgery before and around the time of resection.
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 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 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.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
