This study tests whether extra education about stoma care helps people who have had colostomy or ileostomy surgery recover more smoothly and manage their ostomy with confidence.
This study checks whether gently stimulating the part of your bowel that leads to your stoma before it is closed can improve the balance of good bacteria in your gut and help your bowel tissue heal. This could make the reversal surgery more successful and lower the risk of complications.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This study tests a program to help people who have had an ostomy (a surgically created opening for waste to leave the body) avoid having to return to the hospital after their operation. It may help you recover more smoothly at home.
This study tests a stimulation program for the bowel loop before surgery to close an ileostomy. It may help your bowel get ready and improve recovery after the procedure.
This trial tests a simple at-home method to manage early bowel issues after rectal cancer surgery. It may help reduce symptoms like frequent bowel movements or urgency while you wait for your ileostomy to be reversed.
