Bowel injury surgery study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at people who have had an injury to their small or large bowel. It studies how surgeries to reconnect the bowel (called anastomoses) work after such injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in the Methodist Dallas Medical Center Trauma Registry.
- You have been diagnosed with an injury to the small bowel, large bowel, or both.

This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change after surgery to reconnect the intestines (anastomosis). It may help doctors understand complications and improve recovery.
This trial compares two ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
