Protective device for rectal and lower colon tumor surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a disposable device that isolates and protects the intestines during laparoscopic surgery for tumors in the rectum or lower sigmoid colon. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You have a tumor in your rectum or lower sigmoid colon and are scheduled for laparoscopic AR/LAR surgery.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 or higher.
- The distance between the tumor and your anus is no more than 20 centimeters.
- You are not allergic to silicone and have no severe allergies.
- You have not had prior surgery on your intestines or pelvis.

This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
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 trial compares two ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
This trial studies a device (CG-100) placed inside the bowel to see if it can improve safety and outcomes during surgery for colorectal cancer. You would be asked to follow extra study check-ins after your operation, and the team would monitor whether the device works as intended.
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a refined surgical method for removing rectal tumors while preserving the anal sphincter, which may help avoid a permanent colostomy. It is for patients with early-stage rectal cancer that is close to the anus and has not spread.
