Surgical technique tested to prevent dangerous bowel paralysis after rectal cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT07432542

Summary

This study is testing whether closing the pelvic lining during minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery helps prevent bowel paralysis after the operation. Researchers are comparing two approaches—closing the lining versus leaving it open—in 516 patients across multiple hospitals. The goal is to see which method better helps patients recover bowel function and avoid complications.
