Check a new alternative to ileostomy after bowel surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult between 19 and 80 years old and can sign consent
- Your planned bowel connection will be above the anus but not too high (between 4 cm and 15 cm)
- You must be able and willing to follow the study visits and procedures
- If needed, you’re willing to receive a blood transfusion
- You do not have pregnancy or breastfeeding, and you are not having emergency surgery
- No serious organ problems or immune suppression that would make surgery unsafe
