First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two approaches during colorectal cancer surgery: using a leak test (with a gastroscope, air, and blue dye) versus no leak test. The goal is to see if leak testing reduces serious complications like anastomotic leakage within 30 days after surgery. About 264 adults aged 18-85 with colorectal cancer will participate.
