New imaging device could help surgeons spot bowel leaks early
NCT ID NCT07587619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special camera that measures oxygen levels in the bowel during colorectal surgery. Surgeons will use it to see if low oxygen areas predict leaks after the procedure. About 52 adults having laparoscopic colorectal surgery will take part. The goal is to see if this imaging tool can help improve surgical outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fujifilm ELUXEO device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons identify poor blood flow during surgery and reduce the risk of bowel leaks after colorectal procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device is being tested for feasibility, not proven to prevent complications.
