An observational study in Colorectal Cancer and Diverticulitis, sponsored by Kepler University Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Austria. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-01.
Sponsored by Kepler University Hospital · Observational
Each colorectal anastomosis is routinely evaluated intraoperatively by sigmoidoscopy and, in the presence of signs of bleeding, also postoperatively (persistent rectal bleeding within 24 hours after surgery).
The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of anastomotic bleeding in double-stapled anastomoses in relation to the position of the trocar relative to the rectal staple line (on the mesenteric side of the rectal staple line versus opposite the mesenteric side).
6,541 studies on the registry are indexed under Colorectal Neoplasms; 1,667 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 102 is below the median of 250 across 1,440 observational studies indexed under Colorectal Neoplasms.
