Bowel training before ileostomy reversal
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether infusing liquid into the bowel through the stoma before surgery can help prepare the gut. It is for people with a loop ileostomy who are planning to have it reversed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diverting loop ileostomy (a stoma that lets waste leave your body into a bag).
- You are being evaluated to have your stoma taken down (reversal surgery).
- You are able to give your own consent.
- You are able to receive infusions into your stoma.

This study tests a stimulation program for the bowel loop before surgery to close an ileostomy. It may help your bowel get ready and improve recovery after the procedure.
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.
This study tests whether a simple daily stimulation technique applied before ileostomy reversal surgery can improve your bowel health and reduce complications. Researchers will compare your bowel bacteria and tissue health before and after the procedure.
This study tests two ways of giving back the fluid from your small intestine (ileal contents) through an enema or reinfusion before your ileostomy is closed. The goal is to see which method helps your bowel movements return to normal after rectal cancer surgery.
This trial tests a program to help patients with a new ileostomy avoid dehydration and hospital readmission by providing extra support and education.
This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
