Details and patient eligibility

About

The study is conducted to record continuous electrophysiological signals from intact and ischemic bowel tissue during colonic resection surgery, in order to train the Exero Medical Leak Detection System classification algorithm on detection of ischemic conditions.

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Age ≥ 18 years.
2. Patient is scheduled for open colonic resection, (right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, anterior resection or subtotal colectomy) surgery.
3. Patient has consented to be in the trial and signed informed consent is available before any study related procedures are carried out.

Exclusion criteria

Description:

Subjects with Exero's Smart Drain Device Attached This arm contains subjects which will have Exero's leak detection Device used: Exero Smart Drain is placed on their large bowel during colonic resection surgery (either open, laparoscopic or robotic). The study aims to demonstrate that the parameters measured by the device in in-vivo, non-disrupted tissue are different than parameters measured in ischemic tissue. Once this data is collected a detection algorithm can be trained. This procedure will add no more than 20 minutes to the existing procedure that is performed per hospital standard overall and will enable collection of control vs. ischemia induced clinical data, essential to developing the detection algorithms.
