First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests a modified stapling technique (MST) against the standard method in 450 adults having minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if MST lowers the risk of anastomotic leakage, a serious complication where the bowel connection leaks. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques and monitored for leaks within 30 days after surgery.
