Comparing stoma hernia prevention in colostomy surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests a special mesh placed during colostomy surgery to help prevent hernias (a bulge where the intestine comes through the belly). If you are having a permanent colostomy, this might help lower your chance of a common complication.
This trial tests ways to improve decisions and outcomes for people having surgery for a parastomal hernia, which is a bulge near a stoma. It aims to help patients make better choices and have better results.
This study tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to fix parastomal hernias — a bulge near your stoma. The goal is to repair the hernia safely and help you avoid more problems with your stoma pouch.
This trial is looking at people who have a parastomal hernia (a bulge near an ostomy) and need it repaired. It tests an endoscopic (small-camera) surgical approach called the ePauli repair to improve how the hernia is fixed.
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.
