ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating whether using special patches to reinforce staplers during a surgery called gastrojejunostomy can reduce complications compared to standard staplers. This surgery is often performed on patients with gastric cancer who need part of their stomach removed. The goal is to see if these reinforcement patches can help prevent problems like leaks at the surgical connection and improve recovery after the operation.
To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 85 years old and have been diagnosed with gastric cancer that allows for certain types of stomach surgery. You should be in good overall health, meaning you can perform normal daily activities without major issues. If you decide to join, you'll receive detailed information and support throughout the study. It's important to note that if you have certain serious health conditions or have participated in another clinical trial recently, you may not be eligible. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and your participation could contribute to better surgical outcomes for future patients.
