Laparoscopic surgery for Crohn's disease of the small intestine
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years or older.
- You have Crohn's disease in the last part of the small intestine or where the small and large intestines meet, and your doctor has recommended surgery to remove the diseased section.
- You have had a recent colonoscopy and imaging tests (like ultrasound or MRI) to check the extent of your disease.
- You are not in need of emergency surgery.
- You do not have serious heart problems, cancer within the last 5 years (except possibly unrelated), or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You agree to follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, including imaging and a scope test.

This study tests a new oral treatment called EXL01 to see if it can prevent Crohn's disease from coming back after surgery to remove part of the small and large intestine. It may be an option if you are not planning to use strong immune-suppressing drugs (except anti-TNF) in the next 6 months.
This trial looks at tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease who need intestinal surgery. The goal is to study the tissue in detail to better understand the disease.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the affected part of the intestine in people with Crohn's disease. It aims to see if removing more tissue around the blood vessels leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after surgery in people with Crohn’s disease that affects the small intestine and/or colon. It aims to see which reconnection method works better after the initial surgery, even if you’re on Crohn’s medicines before the operation.
This study tests whether a special surgical technique (mesentery-embedding) is safe for people with Crohn's disease who need ileocolic surgery and are already on a biologic medication. It aims to see if this method can help reduce complications.
This study compares two ways for surgeons to decide where to cut the intestine during surgery for Crohn's disease. One uses an ultrasound probe during the operation, and the other uses the standard method of feeling the tissue. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance leads to better outcomes.
