Feeding plan for babies with a mucous fistula after bowel surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 366 days old (less than 1 year).
- Your baby has an ileostomy or jejunostomy plus a mucous fistula.
- The stoma setup is a specific type (double loop or split enterostomy) with a mucous fistula.
- Parents or legal guardians can sign consent and agree to follow-up visits and feeding plan checks.
- Your baby does not have certain conditions that affect eligibility, like colostomy or bowel blockage/atresia.

This study tests a method called chyme reinfusion, where digestive fluids that are lost through a stoma or fistula are collected and put back into the intestine. It aims to help people with high fluid loss from the gut maintain better hydration and nutrition.
This trial looks at how to provide nutrition by mouth or through a feeding tube (enteral feeding) for babies who have a small-bowel stoma (an opening made for stool to leave the body). It may help babies grow and get adequate nutrition while they recover.
This study tests whether a special type of nutritional feeding through a tube placed in your small intestine can reduce complications (fluid leaks) after surgery to remove your esophagus for cancer. Researchers hope this approach may help you recover faster and spend less time in the hospital.
This study tests whether starting feedings earlier than usual helps babies born with gastroschisis recover better. It aims to find a safer and more effective feeding plan for these newborns.
This study looks at newborns who had intestinal surgery at a specific hospital, using existing medical records. Researchers will focus on whether starting food by mouth early was safe or not, which could help improve care for future newborns.
This study looks at the best time to start eating again after small bowel surgery. Patients are placed into groups that start feeding earlier or later, to see which helps recovery better.
