Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a loop ileostomy that is being reversed (not an end ileostomy).
- You do not have a parastomal hernia that needs a mesh repair.
- You are able to give your consent to take part in the study.

This trial is testing whether a diluted povidone-iodine (a common germ-killer) rinse inside the belly during surgery can prevent infections better than a plain saltwater rinse. It is for adults having abdominal surgery for certain types of wounds.
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a super-oxidized cleaning solution to see if it reduces infections after emergency surgery for a hole in the intestine. If you are having open belly surgery for an infected gut, this study may help guide safer recovery.
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
This study compares using povidone-iodine (an iodine-based cleaner) versus saline (salt water) to rinse the surgical area during planned colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see which helps prevent infections at the surgery site after the operation.
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.
