Tiny catheter could spot dangerous leaks after bowel surgery

NCT ID NCT01999634

Summary

This study tested a monitoring method called microdialysis to see if it could detect healing problems earlier after surgery for rectal cancer. Researchers placed a tiny catheter near the surgical site in 21 patients to measure local chemical changes. The goal was to identify dangerous leaks in the new bowel connection before they cause serious complications.
