Bowel Prep Before Minimally Invasive Colon Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether cleaning out your colon before surgery for early-stage colon cancer affects outcomes when surgeons use a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach. Researchers want to see if this prep step makes a difference in recovery and complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with colon cancer at stage I, II, or III (early to intermediate stages, not advanced)
- Your cancer is in the right side of your colon and needs surgical removal
- You are having planned (elective) surgery, not emergency surgery
- Your surgeon will use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques and connect your colon internally during surgery
- You are able to complete follow-up visits and can be contacted after surgery
- You do not have serious blockage, perforation, or infection in your bowel before surgery

This trial compares two surgical ways of connecting the bowel during laparoscopic surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer. It may help find which approach lowers complications and improves recovery after the operation.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has grown into nearby tissue or lymph nodes but hasn't spread to other organs. It is for patients whose tumors are mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS).
This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
This study looks at factors that affect how well the bowel is cleaned before a colonoscopy in people with IBD. The goal is to improve preparation so the colonoscopy can be more effective.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
