AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People aged 18 or older
- People who are scheduled (not emergency) for a planned left-sided bowel removal surgery that includes joining the bowel back together (anastomosis), such as a left hemicolectomy, sigmoid resection, or partial mesorectal excision (PME)
- People having this surgery for either a non-cancerous or cancerous reason
- People joining the prospective (forward-looking) part of the study must be able to sign a consent form
- People who had one of these qualifying surgeries at a participating hospital between 2023 and 2025 may be considered for the retrospective (past records) part of the study
Who may not be able to join:
- People who had or are planned for a total mesorectal excision (TME), which is a different, more extensive type of rectal surgery (confirm with trial site)
- People having surgery on the right side of the bowel, or any bowel operation that falls outside the specific procedures defined by the study
- People whose surgery did not or will not involve joining the bowel back together — for example, those who had or will have a permanent stoma (bag) without reconnection
- People having emergency or urgent bowel surgery rather than a planned procedure
- People in the prospective group who are not able to provide written consent
