Surgeons test artificial valve to stop diarrhea after colon cancer removal
NCT ID NCT07167420
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new surgical procedure called RISE that rebuilds the ileocecal valve during right colon cancer surgery. Normally, removing this valve can cause diarrhea and malnutrition. The trial will randomly assign 188 patients to either receive the valve reconstruction or standard surgery. Researchers will compare how quickly patients form solid stools and track complications to see if the reconstruction helps.
