AI Stapler vs. Standard Stapler for Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a new AI-assisted robotic stapler to a standard stapler used during surgery for colorectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if the new stapler is safer and works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have colorectal cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
- You are scheduled to have robotic or laparoscopic surgery as your first treatment, where a stapler will be used to cut and reconnect tissue.
- You have not had surgery for this cancer before (it is not a recurrence).
- You do not have a blocked or torn colon, or cancer that has grown into nearby organs.
- You are not having any other major abdominal or pelvic surgeries at the same time.

This trial tests if the placement of the stapler spike during colorectal surgery affects bleeding where the bowel is joined. It may help guide safer stapling techniques.
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.
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 new stapler (a tool that closes and cuts tissue during surgery) with the standard staplers currently used. It is for people having certain stomach or lung surgeries to see if the new device works as well or better.
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 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.
