Stapler placement study for colorectal surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Having colorectal surgery where the bowel is reconnected using a double-stapling technique (side-to-end or end-to-end)
- The doctor can clearly note if the stapler was placed toward the side of the bowel with the blood supply or the opposite side

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.
This study tests a new, computer-assisted stapler against the usual stapler used during surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the new stapler works better at safely joining the bowel back together after the cancer is removed.
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 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 study compares different types of staplers used to reconnect the colon after surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal is to see which stapler is less likely to cause a leak at the connection point, which can be a serious complication.
This study tests how well a specific surgical stapler works when joining the intestine after removing part of the right colon for cancer. It may help doctors understand if this stapler is reliable and safe for this type of surgery.
