Comparing two stoma placement methods to reduce complications
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is comparing two ways to place a stoma (a new opening for waste) during abdominal surgery, to see which method leads to fewer problems like leaking or skin issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to create a stoma (a new opening in your belly for waste to leave your body).
- The surgery can be planned or an emergency procedure.
- You have not had a previous surgery on your belly that needed repair.
- You do not have a hernia (a bulge) in your belly wall that you already know about.

This study tracks how well patients recover after temporary stoma surgery (a surgically created opening for waste drainage) placed through a midline incision. Researchers want to understand healing, complication rates, and quality of life to improve surgical outcomes.
This study tests two different ways to create the opening for a stoma (an ostomy bag) during rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if one method reduces the risk of developing a hernia at the stoma site later.
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 compares two ways of creating a temporary stoma after surgery to remove part of the lower colon or rectum. It aims to see which method leads to fewer problems and better recovery for people who need a stoma to protect the healing area.
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 tests whether sewing the belly lining in a special way during colostomy surgery can lower the chance of a hernia near the stoma. It may help you if you need a colostomy and are in generally good health.
