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 tests a new way to create a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. It compares two methods to see which one better prevents hernias (bulges) from forming next to the stoma.
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 trial tests a newer, less invasive stoma surgery method against the traditional approach. It aims to see if the new method works better for people who need a temporary ileostomy during colorectal cancer surgery.
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.
This trial compares two methods of closing the wound after a stoma reversal surgery in children. It aims to find which technique leads to better healing and fewer complications.
