First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called VacStent for people who develop a leak after colorectal surgery. The device combines a stent with vacuum therapy to help the leak heal while allowing waste to pass normally. About 40 adults will be treated in Dutch hospitals to see if the device can heal the leak without needing more surgery or a temporary colostomy bag.
