Clinical Trial: SIS-Reinforced vs. Conventional Anastomosis for Mid-to-Low Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter RCT on Anastomotic Leak

U.S., Oct. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07209787) titled 'SIS-Reinforced vs. Conventional Anastomosis for Mid-to-Low Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter RCT on Anastomotic Leak' on Sept. 29.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using a reinforcing material called SIS (small intestinal submucosa) during bowel connection after rectal cancer surgery can help prevent anastomotic leakage-a serious complication where the connection between two parts of the intestine fails to heal properly.

The main questions the study aims to answer are:

Does using an SIS-reinforced connection r...
