Testing a protective stoma after bowel reconnection for infection
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether creating a temporary “protective stoma” (an opening that diverts stool) after reconnecting the bowel can reduce complications for people with severe abdominal infection from a perforated diverticulitis. It’s for adults who had surgery to reconnect their colon right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have had surgery for a perforated diverticulitis of the left colon with severe abdominal infection (purulent or fecal peritonitis, Hinchey III or IV)

- Be able to follow the study plan (based on the study doctor’s judgment)
- Have health coverage through social security/insurance
- Not have key reasons to be excluded (severe unstable condition, certain past treatments, immune problems, pregnancy, etc.)

This study tests a tool to help doctors decide whether to reconnect the colon or create a temporary opening (colostomy) during emergency surgery for severe diverticulitis. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by supporting better surgical decisions.
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 study tests if teaching patients about their upcoming stoma (an opening in the belly to pass stool) before surgery helps them recover better. It aims to improve care for people needing a temporary or permanent stoma.
This trial tests whether a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
This study compares two types of temporary stomas (ileostomy and transverse colostomy) in adults who need a protective stoma after rectal or colon surgery. It aims to find which type leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
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.
