Study of Signia circular stapler in left colon and rectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a new circular stapler, called the Signia, used to reconnect the bowel during planned left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It aims to see how well the device works in everyday hospital settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and willing to give consent.
- You are having a planned (non-emergency) surgery on the left side of your colon or rectum where the surgeon will connect two sections of bowel.
- You have not had chemotherapy or strong immune-suppressing drugs in the last 6 weeks.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, and any blood thinners you take have been safely stopped before surgery.
- You are not scheduled for a redo surgery, multiple colon resections, or an ileal-anal pouch procedure.

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 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.
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.
This trial tests a new-shaped stapler (a tool that seals and cuts the rectum) during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to remove rectal cancer. The goal is to see if it helps ensure a clean margin (area without cancer) at the resection edge, which may improve the success of the surgery.
This study compares different types of staplers used to reconnect the colon after surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal is to see which stapler is less likely to cause a leak at the connection point, which can be a serious complication.
This study tests a new, computer-assisted stapler against the usual stapler used during surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the new stapler works better at safely joining the bowel back together after the cancer is removed.
