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 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 ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
This study tests two different ways to create the opening for a stoma (an ostomy bag) during rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if one method reduces the risk of developing a hernia at the stoma site later.
This study compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine after rectal cancer surgery. It looks at a newer method called TTSS against the standard double-stapled technique.
This trial studies ways to lower the chance of getting a hernia after your temporary ileostomy is reversed. It may help patients who are planning stoma reversal after rectal cancer surgery.
