Testing two UC surgery reconstructions after colectomy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 to 60 years old
- You have UC and had (or are scheduled for) subtotal colectomy with an ileostomy
- Your rectum can stretch/adjust well enough and is not causing major problems
- Your rectal inflammation can be controlled using only topical mesalazine (an anti-inflammatory medicine for the rectum)
- Your UC diagnosis is clear and confirmed

This study looks at a way of reconnecting the small intestine to the anus after the colon and rectum are removed, using a single stapling technique. It may help people with ulcerative colitis who need surgery to have better outcomes and recovery.
This trial tests a new treatment for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) whose disease is active despite taking only mesalamine or sulfasalazine. It aims to find a therapy that can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
This study follows patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to see how their intestine heals after surgery. It looks for signs that can predict whether inflammation will return or complications will happen.
This trial studies whether continuing advanced medical treatments or having surgery (colectomy) is better for people with ulcerative colitis whose disease is active and hasn't improved after trying two or more advanced therapies.
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 of reconnecting the bowel after surgery in people with Crohn’s disease that affects the small intestine and/or colon. It aims to see which reconnection method works better after the initial surgery, even if you’re on Crohn’s medicines before the operation.
