New plan aims to catch dangerous leaks after colon surgery

NCT ID NCT03097276

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a step-by-step plan for patients who had high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after surgery for colorectal cancer. High CRP can signal a serious complication called an anastomotic leak, where the surgical connection leaks. The goal was to see if a proactive management plan could help patients leave the hospital sooner. The study included 105 adults with high CRP but no signs of severe infection.
