Comparing temporary stoma types after rectal cancer surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the rectum (anterior resection) due to a rectal tumor
- A temporary stoma (a bag on your belly to collect stool) is planned as part of the surgery
- You do not already have a stoma or another stoma made during the same surgery
- It is technically possible to create either an ileostomy or colostomy (no prior bowel resection that would prevent it)
- You are 18 years or older and able to cooperate with the study procedures

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 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 compares two ways of managing the bowel after rectal cancer surgery: using a 'ghost stoma' (a temporary loop of intestine placed under the skin but not opened) versus no stoma at all. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
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 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.
