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 ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing the right part of the colon in laparoscopic surgery. One method is done inside the body, the other outside; both are standard, and the study aims to see which is better for recovery.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for patients with colon cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. The treatment aims to shrink the tumor and reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
This study tests whether taking a laxative before planned colon surgery makes the surgery easier for the surgeon, which might lead to a smoother recovery. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
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 compares different methods of bowel preparation (cleaning the colon) before colon surgery to see which is more effective and better tolerated. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications after surgery.
