Bowel preparation for colostomy reversal in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 15 years old.
- Your child must not be malnourished.
- Your child should not have had a leak at the colostomy reversal site before.

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 bowel-cleansing liquid called CLENPIQ in children ages 1 to 9 who need a colonoscopy. It aims to see if it works well and is safe for preparing the colon before the procedure.
This trial tests whether giving oral antibiotics before surgery is better than giving no antibiotics for children who are having their colostomy closed or a pull-through procedure. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery in children with conditions like anorectal malformation or Hirschsprung's disease.
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 simple daily stimulation technique applied before ileostomy reversal surgery can improve your bowel health and reduce complications. Researchers will compare your bowel bacteria and tissue health before and after the procedure.
This trial compares two different ways of closing surgical wounds after stoma reversal surgery in children. Researchers want to see which closure method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
