Measuring oxygen in the colon during bowel surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels inside the colon during surgery, right after the surgeon reconnects the bowel. It may help doctors see if the new connection is healing well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery to reconnect your colon (a colorectal anastomosis).
- You agree to take part in the study.
- This is not a repeat or revision surgery.
- Your surgeon will use special imaging (ICG and StO2) to check blood flow right after the connection is made.

This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see blood flow in the colon during surgery. It may help make sure the surgery is safer and more successful.
This study tests two imaging methods to check blood flow in the bowel during colon surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see which part of the bowel is healthy enough to reconnect, potentially reducing the risk of leaks after surgery.
This study tests if a special dye can help surgeons see how well blood is flowing to the bowel after surgery, with the aim of reducing the risk of anastomotic leaks (where the joined parts of the bowel don't heal properly).
This study measures oxygen levels in the colon during a routine colonoscopy to understand how blood flow differs between people with vascular lesions (abnormal blood vessels) and those with a healthy colon. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat these conditions.
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 compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
