Reinjecting digestive fluids after small bowel surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a method called chyme reinfusion, where digestive fluids that are lost through a stoma or fistula are collected and put back into the intestine. It aims to help people with high fluid loss from the gut maintain better hydration and nutrition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a stoma (opening in the belly) or a fistula (abnormal connection) that loses more than 1.5 liters of fluid per day, or more than 1 liter that affects your hydration or nutrition.
- Your stoma or fistula is shaped so that it is possible to collect and return the digestive fluids.
- Tests show that the lower part of your intestine is open and working.
- You are willing to learn to use a device to collect and reinfuse the fluid.

This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
This trial tests a surgical technique that recycles intestinal fluids during rectal cancer surgery to help prevent bowel dysfunction and frequent bowel movements after surgery. If you've had mid-to-low rectal cancer removed and created a temporary opening (stoma), this study may help improve your quality of life.
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.
This study tests whether a special type of nutritional feeding through a tube placed in your small intestine can reduce complications (fluid leaks) after surgery to remove your esophagus for cancer. Researchers hope this approach may help you recover faster and spend less time in the hospital.
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 study compares two ways of delivering liquid nutrition through a feeding tube after major abdominal surgery. It may help you recover better if you need intensive care and can be fed through a tube.
