Could a simple diet replace an enema before endometrial cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07702799
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a 3-day low-residue diet can replace a rectal enema for bowel preparation before laparoscopic endometrial cancer surgery. One hundred women scheduled for surgery will be randomly assigned to either the diet or an enema. The study measures how well the surgeon can see during the operation, the required patient tilt and gas pressure, and any discomfort from the preparation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a low-residue diet and a sodium phosphate rectal enema
- What this could lead to
- If the diet works as well as the enema, patients may avoid an uncomfortable procedure before surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small trial, and the diet may not provide adequate surgical exposure in all cases, potentially requiring additional measures.
