Vacuum therapy for Post-Surgery leaks: a new hope?
NCT ID NCT07295236
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at using endoscopic vacuum therapy to treat leaks that can happen after stomach cancer surgery. Researchers will track 100 patients to see if this approach lowers death rates, reduces complications, and improves patient satisfaction. The goal is to find a better way to manage this serious complication without more surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- endoscopic vacuum therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that endoscopic vacuum therapy is a safe and effective way to manage post-surgery leaks, potentially reducing deaths and complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. The sample size is small (100 people), and the therapy may not work for all leak types.
