Comparing colonoscopy techniques to reduce looping
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one reduces the chance of the scope looping inside the bowel. If you are having a routine colonoscopy, you may be able to help researchers improve the procedure.

This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one finds more pre-cancerous polyps called serrated lesions. It may help your doctor choose the best way to screen for colon cancer during your procedure.
This study compares a newer 3D colonoscopy technique with standard colonoscopy to see which one is better at finding and evaluating polyps in the colon. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy anyway, you may be able to participate and help doctors learn which method works best.
This study compares three types of surgical staplers used to reconnect the colon after cancer removal. Researchers want to see which stapler type best prevents leaks at the connection site, a common complication after colorectal surgery.
This study tests whether doing a colonoscopy (camera exam of the colon) early after surgery for low rectal cancer helps catch a serious complication called anastomotic leakage—when the surgical connection between bowel segments breaks down. Early detection might help prevent severe infections and improve outcomes.
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 looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
