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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a routine endoscopic exam shortly after colorectal surgery can catch a leak early, which may prevent complications. If you are 18 or older and had a low colorectal or coloanal anastomosis within 15 cm of the anorectal junction, you may be eligible.
This trial is for adults having planned colon surgery where the two ends of the colon are reconnected. It tests two different imaging techniques to see which one better shows blood flow during surgery, which could help reduce complications.
This trial tests a special imaging system that helps surgeons see blood flow during left-sided colon surgery. It may help improve safety and outcomes by checking that the surgical connection has good blood supply.
This trial tests whether using a special dye and near-infrared light during colon surgery can help doctors see blood flow to the bowel and prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected. It may help you avoid serious complications after surgery.
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 checks blood flow to the bowel connection during rectal cancer surgery using a special light-based imaging method. The goal is to help the surgical team confirm the connection has good circulation, which may reduce complications.
