Pre-warming before colon surgery and its effect on blood flow
This study looks at whether warming patients before colon surgery improves blood flow during and after the operation. If better blood flow can be achieved, it might help with recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether warming the body before surgery helps keep your body temperature stable during a prostate procedure called HoLEP, which is done with a laser under general anesthesia. If you are having this surgery, the results may help prevent chills or complications from getting too cold during the operation.
