This trial compares two types of temporary stomas (a bag on the belly to collect stool) after rectal cancer surgery. It aims to see which type—ileostomy (small intestine) or colostomy (large intestine)—works better for patients.
This study looks at whether closing a temporary ileostomy sooner is safe after rectal cancer surgery, when imaging shows no leak. It may help people avoid living with the stoma for longer, but only if specific safety checks are passed.
This study tests a new way to create a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. It compares two methods to see which one better prevents hernias (bulges) from forming next to the stoma.
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
This trial compares two methods of closing the wound after a stoma reversal surgery in children. It aims to find which technique leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial compares two different ways of closing surgical wounds after stoma reversal surgery in children. Researchers want to see which closure method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
