Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.

This study tests a special mesh placed during colostomy surgery to help prevent hernias (a bulge where the intestine comes through the belly). If you are having a permanent colostomy, this might help lower your chance of a common complication.
This trial is testing whether placing a special mesh during ileostomy closure surgery can help reduce complications. It may offer an extra layer of support for healing.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.
This trial studies which technique works best to close a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery. It compares different closure methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients.
This trial tests whether sewing the belly lining in a special way during colostomy surgery can lower the chance of a hernia near the stoma. It may help you if you need a colostomy and are in generally good health.
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.
