First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a temporary device called Colovac 2 in 24 people undergoing colon cancer surgery. The device is placed inside the bowel to protect the surgical connection while it heals, potentially avoiding the need for a temporary stoma. Researchers checked if the device stayed in place and was safe over 10 days.
