Can a quick scope after surgery prevent dangerous leaks?
NCT ID NCT07588386
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether doing a colonoscopy 5 to 8 days after low colorectal cancer surgery can help doctors spot anastomotic leaks earlier than standard monitoring. About 140 adults who had surgery for colorectal cancer will either get an early colonoscopy or routine care. The goal is to see if early detection leads to faster treatment and fewer emergency operations.

What this could lead to
If successful, early colonoscopy could help doctors find and treat anastomotic leaks days earlier, possibly reducing the need for emergency surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 140 participants. The procedure itself carries risks like bleeding or perforation, and it may not prove better than standard monitoring.
