Low-fiber diet vs enema before laparoscopic endometrial cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two colon preparation methods — a low-residue diet versus a rectal enema — before laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer. The goal is to find which approach is easier and works better for bowel preparation.

This study tests whether combining exercise with a special diet can improve how your body processes energy (metabolism) before you have surgery to remove the cancer. It is for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who haven't yet started treatment.
This study tests whether a three-month program that includes weight-loss medications and hormone therapy before surgery is better than surgery alone for women with early-stage endometrial cancer and severe obesity. The goal is to see if this approach improves surgical outcomes and overall health.
This trial looks at better ways to predict how aggressive your endometrial cancer is before surgery, so doctors can decide if they need to check your lymph nodes. It may help tailor your treatment to avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study tests a new weight-loss procedure called Endoscopic Suture Gastroplasty (ESG) for women with endometrial (uterine) cancer who are obese. The procedure uses a special camera and stitches to make the stomach smaller, helping you lose weight before your cancer surgery.
This trial tests a special enema program to help people with ongoing bowel problems (called LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. If standard treatments haven't worked, this program might offer a new way to manage symptoms like urgency and leakage.
This study tests whether giving a special enema in two directions (from above and below) after specific rectal cancer surgery can help prevent a common problem called low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), which affects bowel control and quality of life. If you're having this surgery, the trial may help you keep better bowel function.
