How immune cells respond during digestive surgery
This study watches how your body's immune system responds during and after digestive surgery. Researchers will collect samples to understand inflammation patterns, which could help doctors better care for surgical patients in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery on your digestive system (stomach, intestines, colon, or related organs)
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are not currently taking medications that suppress or modify your immune system
- You are able to provide informed consent for the study

This study looks at your immune system before pancreatic surgery to predict if you might develop a common post-surgery complication called a pancreatic leak (where digestive juices escape the pancreas). The goal is to see if simple blood tests before surgery can help doctors plan better care and reduce risks for future patients.
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 study looks at how certain immune cells relate to Crohn's disease coming back after bowel surgery. The goal is to better understand why some patients have a recurrence, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
This trial looks at what happens after surgery to remove the spleen in people who also have major cancer surgery through the belly. It may help reduce or better manage serious infections after this kind of operation.
