Preparing patients for digestive stoma surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests if teaching patients about their upcoming stoma (an opening in the belly to pass stool) before surgery helps them recover better. It aims to improve care for people needing a temporary or permanent stoma.

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 tests whether a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
This study tests whether a simulation of having a stoma before surgery can help reduce anxiety and make it easier to adapt afterward. It is for adults having planned stoma surgery who can communicate in Turkish.
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This study looks at whether creating a temporary “protective stoma” (an opening that diverts stool) after reconnecting the bowel can reduce complications for people with severe abdominal infection from a perforated diverticulitis. It’s for adults who had surgery to reconnect their colon right away.
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.
