NCT ID NCT07631702

First seen Jun 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026

Summary

This study tests a device called VacStent for treating leaks that can happen 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 with a leak in the lower bowel will be treated, and doctors will check if the leak heals completely without needing more surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for a temporary colostomy bag or additional operations.
