Summary
This study looks at whether a specific dissolvable stitch (Monoplus) can lower the chance of a leak where the bowel is reconnected after colon cancer surgery. About 249 people having either keyhole or open surgery will take part. The main goal is to see if the leak rate within 30 days is no worse than what is already reported in medical studies.
