Single-stapled method for colorectal reconnection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned left-sided colorectal surgery that will reconnect the colon to the rectum (anastomosis).
- The surgery is elective (not an emergency).
- You are not having a total mesorectal excision (TME) for very low rectal tumors.
- You can provide written informed consent if joining the study now.

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 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 trial tests two different ways to reconnect the intestine after removing a sigmoid or upper rectal tumor. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing.
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.
This study compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing rectal cancer using keyhole surgery. It aims to see if a reinforced connection (with extra support) helps prevent leaks better than the standard method.
This trial is testing a modified surgical technique (single-stapled anastomosis) for removing part of the rectum in people with rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve recovery or outcomes while using minimally invasive methods like laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
