CRP testing to predict leaks after colon surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial checks if a simple blood test for CRP (a marker of inflammation) after colorectal surgery can help predict if a patient might develop a leak where the bowel is reconnected. If you are having planned colon or rectal surgery, this study might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
This study looks at how often leaks happen after planned surgery on the right side of the colon (the part that connects to the small intestine). It may help doctors understand risks better.
This study tests whether using a special drain tube during rectal cancer surgery helps prevent leakage at the connection point where the intestine is rejoined. If you are planning to have surgery to remove rectal cancer, this might lower your risk of complications.
This trial tests a remote monitoring system to keep an eye on patients after colorectal surgery. It aims to see if this helps recovery and reduces hospital readmissions.
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.
