Comparing two ways to reverse a previous colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to reverse a previous colon surgery (called Hartmann's procedure). It aims to see which technique is safer and better for recovery, and it will track your progress for six months after the reversal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your first colon surgery was for diverticulitis, poor blood flow, or an injury (not cancer)
- You are healthy enough to have another surgery
- You can commit to follow-up visits for a year after surgery

This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
This trial compares two ways to care for children after colostomy reversal surgery: standard care or an enhanced recovery program designed to speed up healing.
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to reconnect the bowel after a Hartmann's procedure, which is a surgery that removes part of the colon and creates a temporary colostomy. If you are eligible, this approach might help you avoid a second major surgery.
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 compares two ways to treat severe diverticulitis during emergency surgery: removing the diseased part and reconnecting the bowel (anastomosis) versus bringing the end of the bowel out to a bag on your belly (colostomy). The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for each patient.
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.
